"THERE better be a damn emergency for you to call me at 2 in the morn—"
Aki stopped in the doorway, her gaze falling onto the boy. It was apparent he'd also been abruptly awakened, still dressed in his pajamas. His shirt was laid beside him on the bed, and he had one of his elbows propped onto his thigh, his palm cradling his head. He was covered in sweat, and his breathing looked ragged and uneven.
Ieiri stood beside him, glancing up at the pair that entered the infirmary. She moved the stethoscope away from her, draping it around her neck. She walked towards the counter, writing something down onto a sheet of paper attached to a clipboard, before handing it to Aki.
She read over the vitals. "What happened, kid?"
"I-I don't know," He said, his voice sounding strained. "I woke up and it was just hurting so bad. I can hardly breathe."
"Can you stand up?" She asked, placing the clipboard back onto the counter.
Itadori nodded and used the side of the bed as leverage to stand up. Aki walked towards him, Gojo following in after her. He walked towards Ieiri.
"His levels are completely off," She muttered to him, folding her arms over her chest. "His heart is beating irregularly and his lungs are expanding like they should when he breaths. The site of his injury looks a little aggravated, so I thought maybe she could tell what was wrong."
"Lift your arm up for me," Aki mumbled. Itadori did so, but paused halfway, wincing in pain. "Now the other."
Aki frowned. She turned to face the bed, placing her elbows on the bed. She extended her leg back and shifted her weight onto one leg. Itadori followed her actions. She stood up, running her fingers along his back. He cried out in pain, jerking away from her touch when she brushed her fingers along the healed wounds.
"Lay down on your stomach," Aki said. "Where do you keep the surgical tools?"
"On the tray to your left," Ieiri replied.
"What's going on, Aki?" Gojo asked, coming to stand beside the bed.
She took the vial from around her neck, frowning at the amount of liquid left inside. "Not exactly sure, but could possibly be some sort of infection."
"Caused by that?" He asked, motioning to the wound.
"Yeah, it happens sometimes," She said. "Probably didn't catch it early enough last time. Could be possible that Marius agitated it when he was here."
"Ow, fuck!" Itadori cried out, his back tensing when he felt the tip of the scalpel pierce his skin.
"Sorry kid," She glanced up at him. "But it's about to hurt worse. You got a bit he can bite on somewhere?"
