Y/n awoke with a start, sitting up and glancing around at their surrounding. Not being able to see for a couple moments, y/n was sweating profusely. As the black spots in their sight dissipated, they could start seeing things. Besides the cracked and stained walls, y/n quickly realized they were in a hospital, being in a hospital bed and having many machines attached to them. Y/n had trouble remembering what happened before they woke up. Before y/n could really think about it, a gentle female voice called from outside the room, then the door opened, revealing a nurse.
The women was dressed in what seemed to be a nurses costume. Blood and grime stained the supposedly white fabric. Covering her face was many bandages. They wound around her arms and legs. she walked in, shutting the door behind her.
"Thank gosh you're awake, you've been passed out for a couple days now."
Y/n sat up, then felt a large shock of pain go through their body, forcing them to lay back down on the dusty bed.
"Dear me, calm down will you. Though I've been taking care of you for some time now, that doesn't mean that you're magically better. Just relax and let me check up on your wounds."
The tall lady stepped closer and grabbed y/n's arm. Y/n flinched and moved their arm away from the nurse.
"Well, there is no need to do that. As you can see, I'm clearly a nurse and I've been taking good care of you."
Y/n sighed and took a moment before shakily handing their arm back to the nurse. Although y/n couldn't see her face, she seemed to be delighted that y/n started to trust her a little.
She inspected y/ns arm, unraveling the bandages and looking over the multiple stitches.
"Okay good, no sign of infection. your healing is going well."
She redressed y/ns arm with a fresh roll of bandage. She checked y/ns head and multiple other parts of y/ns body, nodding and muttering to herself as she went.
"It seems that everything is in order. poor thing, I pity you. You were in a bad condition when I found you.."
"Where... am I..?"
Y/n found their voice, watching the nurse carefully to make sure that she didn't try anything against y/n.
"Is it not obvious? You are clearly in a hospital."
"How is this a hospital? The walls are falling apart, the equipment is rusty."
The lady went quiet, putting a hand on her hip.
"Well, if you were paying attention outside, I don't think that any other place is any better than this, no?"
"I guess so... where did you find me? what happened?"
Y/n still could not figure out what the hell they were doing before this.
"I don't know what exactly happened but I was patrolling the area outside the hospital when I noticed you were on the ground with your nose in the dirt. Thank god I looked at you longer than a second because I thought you were dead. I saw your back move and I realized that you were still breathing. So I took it upon myself to take you in and take care of your wounds."
Y/n nodded, slightly understanding.
"But why? Why would you help me? Wouldn't you want to kill me like the rest of the creatures here?"
"Ouch, you think I'm a *creature*? And no, like I said before, I'm a *nurse*, it's my job to help... people..-"
She readjusted her hat. Y/ns stomach growled, alerting the nurse that y/n was hungry. Go figure because y/n hadn't eaten in a couple days. Y/n sat up to hug their stomach, groaning in pain
"I suppose I should feed you, hey? There isn't much food here.. though there is a general store not too far away. Let me help you up and we can go together as your condition isn't that stable at the moment"
The lady gently helped y/n out of the hospital bed, leading them out of the hospital and towards the general store.
