As much as I admire how resilient you are, [ he gently spreads his fingers against the front of her shoulder to encourage not fucking doing that?, avoiding her neck ] Better to stay laying down, unless you want one of the medics scolding you.

And your bruises will thank you.

[You're not her dad, HC!!! Though, hilariously, she will sigh a little and lay back down.]

... I'll have to get up tomorrow, though. If... If something happens again.

[ No, god, he is not even remotely nice enough on the outside to be her perfect, understanding, bespectacled dad. ]

If you rest, today, you'll be more ready to get up tomorrow. [ He finds a spot to sit, without disturbing her, because finding a chair would be obnoxious. ] When you have to - I'm not optimistic enough to believe that's an if.

[Unfortunately, this is a murdergame so Hua Cheng is very right. Even if she hates it.]

... Right. [There's a bit of shuffling, as if she's moving.] There's no end to this, is there?

[ Given the things he's learned so far, he's certain someone's going to die tonight. And they have so many people that are vulnerable, now, after these expeditions. ]

There's no point in lying to you. [ She knows. His head tilts as he listens to her moving, though it's mild enough that he doesn't stop her. ] But we have to keep moving forward to find the end.

[He absolutely cannot see it, but she nods at that... and then seems to finally notice how odd his movements have been.]

... Hua Cheng-san, did something happen to your sight?

En. [ Again, there's no point in lying to her! ] While you and I couldn't taste anything, at the start of the week, it seems the Realm has a sense of humor.

I've been blind since Wednesday. [ You fought a spinosaurus and helped to patch her up blind, why are you acting like this is not an issue, Hua Cheng. ] I can taste again, though.

... I'm sorry. That's awful.

[Hua Cheng, your [sight]!!!]

Are you okay? I don't doubt you can handle yourself, but...

[ It'll be back later, by curfew, it's fine!!!

Hers, though... ]

You're a good girl, for worrying about someone after what you went through today. [ A little amused, a little wry. How does he surround himself with people like this so often? ] I'm fine. How're you feeling?

That's not... It's only natural to worry about others.

[She can't focus on the trauma is she's too busy fussing over someone else. It's fine.]

... I'll be okay. My mind feels a little bit, ah, fuzzy right now. But... I know I'll feel better once I've had a good night's sleep.

[ I HATE THESE DEATH FLAGS IN THIS THREAD, KYUU ]

It isn't, not usually. [ At least in his experience. ] But if you say you'll be okay, I believe it. You'll rest, and, if I'm right, be on your feet again. You've got a stubborn look in your eye, I think.

[ Like gege, kindhearted and bright. But not the type to go down without a fight.

How unfortunate he wasn't wrong about that. ]

[wtf appreciate my death flags??]

... Well, perhaps it ought to be.

[Everyone, be nicer to her original flavor roommate. The fuck. Being called stubborn makes her smile a little, though.]

I will be... I promise. I'm [ah] a Yoshizawa, and nothing is going to keep me down.

[That would sound more shounen if she actually knew her goddamned name, but it's fine. Enjoy your sleepy, bedridden death flags, Hua Cheng.]
