New colleagues. We're the same.

Dr. Tara: I'm back. *beams*

Dr. David: How did it go?

Dr. Tara: What?? *confused*

Dr. David: Didn't you call home??

Dr. Tara: Oh, right. Everything's okay.

Dr. Chloe: That's great! *happy*

Dr. David: Wait, what? You didn't get scold? *surprised*

Dr. Tara: *smacks* You always want me to get scolded, huh? Oh! *stops* Before I forget, I've something important to say.

Professor Yang: What is it? *curious*

Dr. Tara: On my way here, I met General Yao & he said tomorrow their doctor's will join us to lend a hand or sort of. *thinking*

Dr. Lynn: Their doctor??

Dr. Tara: Yup, I guess he meant the doctors of Avalonia. *focusing*

Dr. Leo: That's great. It means more support. *happy*

Dr. David: We'll see tomorrow.

At night

Nayantara: Haaa~ All done. *stretching*

Chloe: What a day! Let's get some rest.

Lynn: I'm more excited to meet the new colleagues! *excited*

Chloe: Yeah, me too. I hope they'll treat us well. And you, Tara. Don't get into a fight with them, too. *giggles*

Nayantara: Nah! Actually, on the contrary, I'm looking forward to it too.

Next day

In the afternoon

CROWD: Hey! Get in the line. Don't push.

Professor Li: You can wait here. We've settled some chairs there, so please don't push anyone.

Matur Renee (General Officer): *appears* Good morning, everyone.

Professor Yang: General Matur? *surprised* Is something wrong?

Matur Renee (General Officer): Relax, please don't fret. I brought our doctors to meet you guys. *introducing*

Doctors: Hello, everyone. *Step step*

Dr. Leo: Woww, just how many of them are here? *whispers*

Dr. Lynn: Shut up!

Yao Li (General Officer): *walks*

Matur Renee (General Officer): Morning, General!

Yao Li (General Officer): Morning, sir. *salutes*

Matur Renee (General Officer): Woah, you're oddly more behaved today. Indeed, a good morning. *chuckles*

Dr. Tara: Hello, I'm Dr. Nayantara, the team leader. *welcoming*

Dr. Leon: Hello, I'm Dr. Leon. *greeting*

Dr. Tara: Thank you so much for coming here. We're looking forward to work together. *kind*

Dr. Leon: Thank you for the warm welcome. And same here. *smiles*

Dr. Tara: Come, let me introduce to our team & the professor's. *leads the way*

Dr. Leon: *nods* Let's get to work, guys. *loud*

*Tara's voice* We met the new colleagues. There were only 10 of them. But enough for our support. I was actually very excited to meet Avalonia's doctor's. I don't know why, but the atmosphere was a bit intimidating when I first met the general's & no words for that Marshal! However, things were different when we doctors were working together. They were kind, working hard, and it felt like they were one of us. It doesn't matter who we are. In that white coat, we were the same. Their team leader, Dr. Leon was more helpful than I expected. At that rate, I really thought we'd finish our work there ASAP & finally go back home.

At night

Dr. Leon: Alright then. We'll come back tomorrow. Thank you for your help today.

Dr. Tara: Wait, where are you guys going?? *confused*

Dr. Leon: Um... home? Why? Do you have anything else left to do?? *approaching*

Dr. Tara: Nono, I thought you'll stop here with us. I mean, this guest house is big enough & you guys know better than me, of course.

Professor Yang: Yes, you'll have to come here tomorrow anyway. Why not stay with us?? *offering*

Dr. Leon: That's so generous of you. We just didn't want to be a burden on our guests.

Professor Li: Not at all. We won't have any problem, right guys?

Dr. David: Yeah, come on. It'll be fun. *patting*

Dr. Leon: Okay, if you insist... *going in*

Dr. Maya: I'm really so happy to stay here with you guys! *excited*

Dr. Lynn: Us too. *smiles*

Dining room

Dr. Maya: Woah! We never stayed here. *looking around* It's so beautiful from inside. *sits*

Dr. Chloe: The food here is delicious too. *sits*

Dr. Tara: Agreed. *munching*

In girls' room

Hina: Um... Chloe, right? What are you specialized in? *curious*

Chloe: Oh, I'm a gs.

Maya: Woww! Are you all specialized doctors??

Nayantara: Yup, we are. *gets on bed*

Lynn: What about you girls?

Hina: Oh, we're all physicians. *smiles*

Chloe: Oohh, I see. *lies down*

Nayantara: Before you girls, we 3 were getting bored, but now we can literally hold a sleepover party!

Lynn: Not a bad idea! We 8 can hold the sleepover party on our last day. *excited*

Maya: Good idea! I'm in.

Hina: Me too

Girls: Deal then! *loud*

In boys' room

David: Leon, thank you for all your help today.

Leon: Don't worry, we're more grateful. I was curious, why did you guys choose Avalonia for such camp??

Leo: Oh, we were so excited about this camping. Also, our executives chose this location & it's really an amazing place.

Leon: You think so? *chuckles*

David: Why? What's wrong?

Leon: Nothing. I'm glad you guys like this place, maybe because you're here for a few days... But we... have to fight for our home every day since we can't guarantee our tomorrow... *sad*

Colin: Hey, Leon. Don't say like that! You're making the atmosphere so gloomy.

Leon: Am I?

David: Now, you're making me curious... What's wrong with Avalonia?

Leon: I didn't mean to scare you guys. It's just... I got a bit carried away... As long as our Marshal is here, we're all safe. We're glad we got him. *reliefs*

David: POV. What is this place?? We're safe as long as that guy is here?? *recalls Sila* I still remember when Tara was picking a fight with that guy... His gaze... His presence... Everything about him was so intimidating. *rubs hands* Don't wanna have a nightmare thinking about that guy!

Leon: Are you there, buddy? *pushes*

David: Yup. We should get some sleep. Tomorrow we've got a lot to do. *goes to sleep*

Leon: Right. Night!
