“Trying whatever we can is about all we can do,” said Tsubaki. If Rapunzel was set on helping with that particular plan of attack, it would do more harm than good to question her decision. The only thing to do was bolster her friend’s confidence as much as she could. Rapunzel could pull it off if she put her mind to it. “It might be hard, but I know you can do it. Try not to think too much about what you’re healing. The important thing is if you can stop the infection to let the mind and soul start healing; the body can come back from all sorts of injuries, but without all three there’s no point. Think of it like you’re healing them as a person instead of just the incision.”

Tsubaki couldn’t refute the other girl’s logic, either. If this surgery business yielded a cure, then Tsubaki supposed it was worth a try. Depending on how things went with Leanne and Scar, hopefully they would have something helpful to add that could cut back on the dangers of a hasty surgery.

It was too bad Rapunzel didn’t seem to know anything about Sora, though. He was going to be with someone, right? Whatever he decided to do?

She scooped up a small piece of chicken with her fork. “One way or another, there’s a cure out there. And then Sora will be fine.”
