[Atsushi won't be conscious until after an hour in the healing pod, which is probably for the best given what a mess he is. But he's stabilized, and since all of them need help with not dying, that's the best he'll get for the time being.
His legs are still Extremely Fucked Up, so he's not going to be able to move from the bed he got put on to give other people a chance to heal. But at least he's not bleeding anymore.
When he hears Vin's voice though, he snaps to a sudden clarity and sits bolt upright. Is he pale from the blood loss, or is he pale from seeing her? Who knows!]
Vin-
[He. He is trying to shuffle out of bed to get over to where she is. Unless she's within grabbing distance he will absolutely be falling out of bed now, whoops.]
[she's probably not within grabbing distance, but her eyes widen as she sees what he's about to do, and she rushes towards him with a wince. she's trying to at least catch him before he falls off the bed, but she's tiny and her injuries are only just stabilized, so there is a 90% chance they're just both going to fall instead.]
Atsushi tries to yelp in pain as they fall, but his voice is hoarse and it barely squeaks out. Still, he's trying to grab onto her and hold onto her like his life depends on it.]
[her shirt is torn and he can see a pretty bad cut moving down her abdomen, but it's healed just enough that it's not bleeding anymore. one of her injuries is on her back so he can't see it from where he is, and everything else except the burn on her hand is covered by her clothes.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry-

Date: 2022-02-25 02:24 am (UTC)For what? I only fell, I will be fine...

Date: 2022-02-25 02:39 am (UTC)[His words become a mess of sobs for a moment, as he struggles with getting control of himself.
It's okay. She's right here, she's fine. It's all okay. Breathe in, breathe out.
...it's not working as well as he would like, but he's able to talk again after a moment.]
You were right there and I couldn't-
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 02:53 am (UTC)...It wasn't real. I'm safe.
[but, well.]
Though I know that doesn't always make it easier.

Date: 2022-02-25 03:08 am (UTC)[He pauses suddenly, and he lifts his head up enough to really look at her. How visibly injured is she right now?]
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 04:01 am (UTC)she's silent while he looks at her, before:]
Atsushi...?
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 05:04 am (UTC)You're hurt. What happened to you?
[That might be the clearest thing he's said since before his CYOA.]
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 05:05 am (UTC)[frowning! but, after a moment:]
I only got in a few fights.
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 05:48 am (UTC)[He seems to shrink down a little bit when he admits to that.]
I thought it was better not to fight. That you- that the person who looked like you, that they would stop if I didn't fight back.
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 05:52 am (UTC)[her expression twists, growing angry - though that anger isn't directed at him.]
You shouldn't think that of anyone. I... What did she do to you?

Date: 2022-02-25 06:07 am (UTC)You must promise me that next time you will fight back, regardless of who attacks.
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 06:12 am (UTC)What's the point of fighting back if it just hurts my friends? If I can be hurt and they can be safe, then that's okay.

Date: 2022-02-25 06:17 am (UTC)The truth is way too complicated to explain. So instead, he says something else:]
If I fight off people and live, then I'll end up alone anyway. So what's the point?
no subject
Date: 2022-02-25 06:22 am (UTC)[after a second, though, she sighs.]
I doubt either of us are in the mood to argue.
no subject
Date: 2022-02-28 03:57 am (UTC)[He finally lets go of her though. He needs to be careful about how much physical contact he has, or else he might get too attached to it.]
What we need is rest.

Date: 2022-02-28 04:12 am (UTC)It is... probably not a good idea for you to try to go far from here.

Date: 2022-02-28 04:40 am (UTC)...
I can just...lay down on a bed in here.

Date: 2022-02-28 04:55 am (UTC)Alright. So... My side is still injured, but I think I should be able to give you a boost... Or is there a different way we could do this?
no subject
Date: 2022-02-28 01:39 pm (UTC)[They broke and he can't move them very much without using his hands, and his hands need to lift himself up onto the bed.]
