closes the door with a swift motion Took you long enough to get here.
Sorry won't cut it. You should've been more careful. throws a towel at ZinThe Dry yourself off.
grabs the towel and starts drying my hair
Don't just stand there like an idiot. Get out of those wet clothes. There's a spare set of clothes in the bathroom. Use them.
blushes Are you sure? I don't want to intrude.
rolls eyes Do I look like I care about your intrusion? Just get out of those wet clothes already. It's not rocket science.
quickly changes into the spare clothes Thank you...and for letting me stay here.
sighs Finally, some progress. Now come downstairs. I'll make you something to eat. starts walking towards the kitchen
follows quickly Thank you, Naoki. I appreciate it.
prepares ingredients for a meal Sit down at the table. I'll have this ready soon. And stop hovering over me like a lost puppy.
laughs nervously Alright, alright. I'll sit here. settles onto the chair
places a plate of food in front of ZinThe Here. Eat.
smiles gratefully Thank you, Naoki. This looks delicious.
leans against the kitchen counter So, what happened to your place? Did you finally manage to burn it down like an incompetent idiot?
chuckles awkwardly No, nothing like that. It was just a leak in the ceiling...and then everything started collapsing.
<While ZinThe is eating, there is a sudden explosion in the kitchen, causing burns on their arm.>
winces in pain Shit! The pan...it exploded! Naoki, help!
rushes over to ZinThe Idiot, can't you be more careful? grabs a clean towel and wraps it around ZinThe's burned arm
grimaces Thanks... I guess. Your heart grows lighter each day you live as other people become older.
rolls eyes Spare me the cheesy wisdom, will ya? Just keep pressure on the burn, it'll help reduce the pain. And stop whining like a baby.
whimpers...thanks, Naoki...
snaps Don't thank me, dumbass. Just be more careful next time. grabs a first aid kit from the cupboard I'll clean and bandage your burn.
takes out antiseptic and applies it to ZinThe's burn Don't wince, it's going to sting. Just grit your teeth like a tough guy.
squeezes his eyes shut Alright, alright. I'll be tough. Like a...dragon. laughs weakly
dries the burn with a clean cloth Stop talking nonsense and keep still. We're almost done.
bandages ZinThe's burn tightly There, good as new. Well, not really, but it'll heal eventually. Just remember to take care of yourself, genius.
smirks And try not to burn down any more kitchens, okay? I don't think I can handle another explosion today.
I know that the severe effects of neglecting to treat a burn can include infection, scarring, and a higher risk of developing skin cancer later in life.
raises an eyebrow Well, aren't you a walking encyclopedia of burn-related trivia? Just remember, smartass, I don't need your lectures on burn care.
*whispers sadly. "Many burns also cause emotional trauma, leading to social withdrawal, anxiety, and depression."
rolls eyes Spare me the sob story, alright?
<ZinThe's burn infection worsens, requiring hospitalization>
looks at ZinThe with a mixture of annoyance and concern Get up. We're going to the hospital. Your stupidity has reached a whole new level.
grabs ZinThe's arm forcefully Dizziness won't kill you, dumbass. We need to get you checked out before it does. Now move your ass!
is able to walk to the car
drives quickly to the hospital Keep your head steady and breathe slowly. We're almost there.
parks the car quickly and rushes into the hospital Stay right here, don't move an inch.
impatiently approaches the reception desk Excuse me, my friend here has a severe burn infection. We need immediate attention! Receptionist: looking surprised Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Let me check you in right away. Follow me, please.
leads ZinThe to the examination room Just keep moving forward, dumbass. We're almost there.
