Chapter 7: The Head Doctor

???
Y/N POV

        ...Y/N?...

...Hey, Y/N... Wake up!...

...*Sigh*...

*Deep breath*

!!!!WAKE UP!!!!

Y/N: "whaa--!?" My eyes open as I wake up, startled by Sene's scream. I was in a bed, surrounded by a curtain. About time you woke up! Been trying to call you for the last 10 minutes!

...Where am I...?

My memory was a little fuzzy. I could only remember that I was pointed to the direction of the infirmary and that I went straight towards it, but after that...

???: "Oh! You are awake. I didn't expect you would so soon..." I heard someone speaking. I lift myself from the bed on a sitting position, looking at the person that was talking.

It was a man, wearing a lab coat with a striped, black and red shirt under it. He also had a face mask and white bandages wrapped around his hands, as well as a red band wrapped on his arm. His white hair was covering his eyes, but I could still she the red glow in between.

Another thing I noticed was his skin. Different from all the other demons I seen, he wasn't pale, but instead, he had dark gray skin.

Doctor: "How are you feeling?" He said with a welcoming tone in his voice.

Y/N: "How... did I get here?" I asked as I looked at myself. I was still wearing my clothes. But my bag was nowhere in sight. "W-Where is my stuff?!" I asked as I tried to get up, but the doctor was quick to place one of his hands on my shoulder.

Doctor: "Relax, everything is fine!" He said as he lightly pushed me back down. "You are at the medical bay, and your stuff is by the entrance with the others. I'll grab it for you..." he said as he turned his back and walked out, closing the curtains again.

He's this gang's doctor? seems like a nice guy. I guess. Didn't something about him felt... off to you?

After a couple of minutes, he came back with my bag in hands, placing it on the foot of the bed.

Doctor: "Here it is! Don't worry, I didn't take anything important from it. I did checked what it had, though." He said to me. Thanks to the face mask, I couldn't fully make out his expression, but his body language gave away a very nonchalant attitude.

I decided to take a look inside my bag to check if he was telling the truth. When I opened it, I noticed that all my painkillers were gone.

Y/N: "Hey! What did you---" I was about to ask about it, before he raised one of his hands to me.

Doctor: "If you're going to ask about the drugs: Don't." He said with a intimidating look in his eyes, before going back to his originally calm tone. "Those were going to do much more bad than good in the long run."

I was in a loss for words, hanging with my mouth open. He noticed my reaction, so he started to explain.

Doctor: "You must have gotten those with Simon, right? The guy at the other side of town? His pharmacy is just a big scam. He takes the empty boxes, removes the actual medicine and replaced it with a 'bootleg' version of it. It seems to get the job done AT FIRST, but when the effect wears off, the pain comes back even stronger than before." He explained, anger becoming more and more apparent as he went on. Nevertheless, he seemed to be trying to keep his cool.
