Whumpee's head was spinning, vision tilting between one blink and the next as they lean heavily onto the wall at their side.
Caretaker's voice was loud in their ears. Loud loud loud amongst the spinning world. why wouldn't it stop spinning? Their knees give out from under them a moment later, crashing to the floor as a wave of vertigo overtakes them, head lolling. They can't- The world kept spinning and they can't figure out how to to make it stop.
"Whumpee! Hey, hey, Whumpee you're alright, you're going to be alright-"
They're having trouble making out the world around them, everything both too blurry and and too in focus all at once. Their head feels like a ball of lead, rolling this way and that with each wave of vertigo that washes over them. It's getting difficult to think, to try and parse out what was happening, so instead they try to focus on the harsh way they were breathing and Caretaker's panicked voice off to their side.
"-Whumpee please, I need you to breathe okay? I don't- I don't know what Whumper drugged you with, but I promise as soon as help gets here I'll get it out of your system-"
Their head lolls again as they try and ride out the vertigo overwhelming them. They were too hot and too cold all at once. Clammy, sweat clinging to the back of their neck as their vision refused to focus on any one point. their head was hurting, had it been hurting the whole time? or- They blink and suddenly they've been maneuvered into a sitting position, head falling forward before bouncing up and lolling to the side, sending the world tilting once again as they try to meet Caretakers eyes. why was there so much pressure behind their eyes?
"You're okay. You're- you're gonna be okay Whumpee, just stay with me-"
It was getting so hard to focus though, the world going in and out as the seconds pass. Every time their eyes closed it was like the world skipped forward a few seconds, leaving gaps in their memories. they were so tired, couldn't Caretaker see that they were so tired? Their head drops again, eyes starting to flutter as unconsciousness began sinking its claws into them.
"No no no. Whumpee, stay awake okay? Just- just stay awake, help is almost here, just stay awake-"
But Whumpee was so, so tired, and between one blink and the next the world went dark with only Caretaker's voice screaming their name.
