3RD POV

It was the day of the elections. Gjallerhorn forces were persistent on keeping Tekkadan from entering the city. They were able to push them back some, but not enough to get through the blockade.

Everyone was constantly working and it seemed as if they could never catch a break. (YN) drove a mobile worker into the base. She quickly got out the vehicle while pulling out an injured boy.

"Take him to Merribit quickly"

"Right" Kudelia grabbed the injured boy from (YN)'s hands before handing him off to Merribit to tend to his wounds.

"You still can't get through, considering the elections begin this afternoon? You have six hour until the deadline. Perhaps it was too much of a burden"

"If you don't mind I prefer if you did not speak that way in the presence because they're fighting for us" Kudelia says

"Yeah Makanai, the guys are putting a lot on the line and for you to talk like that is just disrespectful" (YN) adds

"I have no doubt that they'll make it to their destination but I'm worried about how much blood they'll spill getting there" Makanai says as he walks off.

"He can be so annoying sometimes" (YN) tiredly shook her head

"You should take a break, you've been fighting nonstop" Kudelia placed a hand on (YN)'s shoulder

"Everyone is working so hard to get you to your goal. I can't stop now, especially with our numbers dropping by the day" However Kudelia still held a bit of doubt in her eyes

"I'll be okay Kudelia" (YN) reassured the girl

TIMESKIP

After the most recent scrimmage with Gjallerhorn, Tekkadan we're finally able to catch a little break. Kudelia helped (YN) as she refueled some of the mobile workers.

"How are things coming" Orga approached the two girls

"Not that good. We're running really low on ammunition, and a lot of the guys are either injured or exhausted" (YN) sighed "What's the plan once we get into the city"

"Even after we enter the city there's still quite a ways to Parliament Hall" Kudelia says

"We're on a time crunch. If we took a mobile worker, we'd get there a lot quicker wouldn't we?" (YN) asked

"Yeah, but only so many people can fit in a mobile worker" Orga says

"The people probably wouldn't be so happy about a mobile worker in the city either. We can't have the public's view on Makanai going down" Kudelia added

"Why is this so hard"
{AN: That's what she said 🌝}

Eventually, Kudelia went to go help Merribit in their makeshift medical ward, leaving the couple alone.

"You okay, you seem a little off" He looked at the (HC) girl am with an exhausted expression

"I know that was stupid question to ask" she scratched the back of her head. "Look, I know things aren't going as planned, but you gotta keep your head up"

"I don't know if I'm making the right decisions. We're low on supplies and there's so many wounded. I even agreed to let Ride fight on the front lines"

"I know you're a bit exhausted, we all are, and I know our options are limited. You're trying you best to get everyone to their goal, and I know you'll get us there. You've got to be confident in yourself" she ended her spiel by pecking his cheek. Orga thought for a moment
