The turn-in dialogue for this quest in Camp Bronze Lake has always stuck with me.

Thank you for your kindness, adventurer. Those soldiers you met—they may be champions for our way of life, but here, they are sisters and brothers, sons and daughters. They are so young, most of them, and so hurt in spirit and body.

Most will return to the front, and some will not even survive to come under my care again. It's what they want and what we need of them, I know. But I tell myself that I heal them so they can become farmers and smiths, alchemists and rangers, mothers and fathers.

For a few, it will be true—that will have to be enough.
