🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Spitting out a clot of blood with a root stuck in it, Gen wipes his nose and lips with the back of his hand, looking at it. Then he wipes his hands on the clothes of the defeated.
Brushing off a speck of dust from his crumpled jacket, he walks back to the respawn point under the hatch as evenly as possible and leans against the wall – this time in silence. He desperately wanted to smoke, but for some unknown reason, he felt that now was not the most appropriate time.
With an effort of will, he tries to gradually calm his heavy breathing, thinking about how well the Calcite people are doing – every opponent is a giant.
