Fics like Purpose

Kiriko, forced to serve in the Japanese military as a field doctor before completing med school, witnesses horrific things and loses his sense of purpose and meaning. Warnings for alcoholism, suicidal ideation, assisted suicide, war imagery (nothing terribly gory, though), internalized homophobia. Largely a character exploration piece with some analysis of Kiriko and Black Jack's personalities in the endnotes.
