Figuring out which would be best. (Major spoilers here.)
After the vast majority of people at Taovak are infected with the illness should Calysia ignore all but Sebastian?
Would she have taken his name then?
Her guilt would have more to do with the other people who died without her, so probably not.
Perhaps... Some sort of sickness spreads amongst the wounded.
Calysia tries to stop it but hasn't the knowledge or experience to devise a cure. People with even the most minor of injuries start to die.
Desperate to save them, she works herself to exhaustion.
Sebastian is injured.
Calysia spends the most time with him; he tells her to deal with the others - says he'll be okay.
Calysia does as told but continues to fail at saving people despite several promising treatments.
Sure of her failure, she then finds Sebastian unconscious, in the final phase of the illness.
Hopeless, she takes him with her up onto the battlements to see the sparrows etc. The enemy are about to break through. She curls up beside him and sleeps, having worked herself half to death. At the last moment the army's cavalary race down and dash the enemy force; Calysia is saved.
