The boy made horrid half gasping choking sounds as he lay in rogers arms. Rayleigh called for Crocus. Roger tried to make comforting noises to stop him from panicking and making things worse.
He kept calling out for someone named “Luffy”, he kept asking if he’s safe, if he made it.
“It’s ok, you’re alright. Everythings ok, everyones fine. You’re going to be fine, just hang on a little longer ok?”
The blood is soaking Rogers front, the liquid warm and uncomfortable. Rayleigh calls for Crocus again, just as he arrives with a medical bag and sees the carnage.
Roger can feel the choking gasps the boy is trying to make. Crocus lays a hand on rogers shoulder, “With a wound like that, theres nothing I can do.”
The boy must have heard this as his shaking increased. Tears gather in his eyes, “I don’t want to die.”
