[she holds out one of the painkillers]

This should help at least a little.

[9mon]

[He takes it and swallows it down, quiet and tired and still hurt.]

[countermeasures]

[she hands him her water bottle to help him swallow the pill with too]

...do you mind if I ask... what happened to you all in there?

[9mon]

[Thank you, it does help.]

Um... we fought to the death, I guess...? But we didn't fully die... Or maybe we were revived? I'm not sure.

[countermeasures]

[what the hell...

her brow furrows with deep concern at that, but she'll look him over for other injuries and start sorting out the supplies she needs to treat them.]

That sounds terrifying...

[9mon]

[The injuries in his chest have scabbed over, but his arm is still mostly crushed. Though it is starting to knit back together, he doesn't really know what to do to help it.]

... It was.

I didn't want to die.

[countermeasures]

[googling how to treat crushed arm injuries is hell. anyway, the best i can glean without grossing myself out is to splint it to keep it from shifting around too much and give it a chance to heal naturally, so she'll get to work on that until he can fully have it fixed up by a pod later.]

You didn't. You're back here now. You're safe.

[9mon]

[A lot of need for pods right now, and he doesn't really want to take them up when there are so many people hurt.]

... Right.

[countermeasures]

[he WILL get back in them sooner or later. >T ]

You are.

[she lightly pats his uninjured arm.]

...you made it back from whatever that was.

[9mon]

[yes, tomorrow when there is less need.]

Right... we made it.

I don't like fighting. Not like that.

[countermeasures]

...how did it come to that...? To that sort of fight...

[9mon]

When we were in the arena, the people against us tried to kill us...

[countermeasures]

You were in an arena...?

[9mon]

That's where we woke up first.

[countermeasures]

"Woke up"? ...you mean like how we woke up in this place last week?

[9mon]

It was more like... when I blinked I was somewhere else.

[countermeasures]

[hmm. concerning.]

...but it wasn't like the other day, with Sir Damien and Riff? You weren't made to walk through an archway or anything like that?

[9mon]

No, I would've remembered that.

[countermeasures]

So it's a little different from that...

[she frowns]

...regardless, though, it still sounds horrible. I'm so sorry it happened to you, Kumon.

[9mon]

[He nods a little bit.]

I hope it doesn't happen to more people...

[countermeasures]

...

[she puts a hand on his uncrushed arm.]

I hope it doesn't, either. But right now, I'm going to focus on helping you get better. There will be time to worry about that later.

[9mon]

[Nods a little bit.

He doesn't think he should argue with a doctor.]

[countermeasures]

[he's right. he should not.

anyway, she'll give the appropriate medical treatment for the injuries he has left]
