What…?
He’d been coughing all day, so perhaps it wasn’t a surprise that it had gotten worse by now but–
{ Was he serious…? }
It was when his face contorted, fingers curling into the fabric of his kosode that Kaya yelled.
“Nurse…!” He started coughing again, this time wheezing as his lungs failed to fill with air. “NURSE!!” But no one was coming. It was the middle of the night, the few staff members that were left had long since done their rounds and were likely on the other side of the building. And it only took one glance for Kaya to decide that her would be friend would not make it to the next set of bed checks.
Immediately she was up and out of bed, reaching as far as she could with her arm attached to the bed; desperately trying to get to the emergency call button by the door. Try as she might however, her small figure was far from able to reach. Frustration rising, she cast another fearful glance to the boy who was now watching her, and even in the dark she could see the fear and pain mounting in his eyes.
“God DAMMIT!” She had no other choice. Taking a page from the Woodpecker’s book, her teeth sank hard into her wrist; tearing at the flesh until she tasted blood. Then–raising her hand above her head–her branch of sin jumped to life, rising from her veins and creating one small disk that she brought down with all the fury and desperation she could muster.
Like a knife through butter, the chain on the handcuffs was cut and with no hesitation the deadman raced for the panic button, pressing it over and over and over again until finally nurses and doctors and anbu slammed through the door.
And once he was safely in their hands, Kaya sank to the floor, knees under her with her hands on her head; remnants of her handcuffs still dangling as if it were a mere bangle around her wrist as she waited to be punished for breaking them.
