    The main story is complete. The female protagonist of the Doctors Without Borders novel is rewritten. She learns that the male soldier is wounded and in shock, and on his deathbed, he believes he has been reborn in high school. She returns to the past six months, to the time she has dreamt of him every night… Finally, the male protagonist awakens, like a god descending, amidst the perilous battlefield, and they have a whirlwind marriage in reality. (The last sentence appears to be a separate, unrelated fragment: "Waves Trust Clouds' White Waves Trust Clouds'...")
