When Chris reached the hospital, what he saw was discouraging.

The little goddess that Ivan loved so much was hospitalized, unconscious over the bed, while being wrapped in all sorts of tech so she could live a bit longer.

Ivan was looking at her with melancholy, as he seemed that everything in his life was lost.

”Ivan… ”

”Chris…? ”

”I… ”

”Hah… Isn ’t it ironic? ”

”Huh? ”

Ivan looked at Chris with a desperate smile, as if he was slowly turning insane out of grief and frustration.

”You go to war, risking your life all the time, but you never go through any of the pain I do… ” said Ivan.

”What? ” asked Chris.

”Meanwhile, I decided to stay in here working as a scientist because… I didn ’t wanted to lose things… I didn ’t wanted to go through tragedies… ” sighed Ivan.

”Ivan, that ’s…! ” muttered Chris.

”But at the end, I am the one that suffers the most, isn ’t it? ” asked Ivan, as he began to cry desperately.

”… ”

Chris didn ’t knew what to say.

He had gone through many loses himself.

But nothing as big as losing his wife… and then the imminent loss of his child.

He never had such things to begin with.

While he fought and lost soldiers, Ivan stayed in the safety of the country, and ended losing everything dear to him.

Was life unfair?

Life was always unfair.

No matter what we do to change it, it will always be unfair.

No matter where you ’re born, or how you ’re born, no matter what you are, or what you become.

In all our lives, we ’ll one day think that life is unfair to us.
