Sometimes it’s too much to heal. When that happens, all a healer can do is try their best. If it makes the pain a little easier to carry, or the day to day even a little better, then it’s worth it.

If she followed this path, Seal would definitely have her own chances to learn from the same experiences. No one in their trade could avoid the lesson forever.
