[ Over the next few days, the healing is remarkable compared to what it would normally take: a couple of days instead of weeks for Kido's burns to heal, her left arm in a cast and shoulder in a splint that could be removed by the end of the month if she continues to do as well as she is, her head is fine and her heart is healing but only physically. She's quiet the entire time, only speaking when spoken to but otherwise she would go the entire day without speaking if she could get away with it, earbuds in her ears and eyes closed as she lies in bed so she can lose herself in a whole different world. She takes her painkillers, and sleeps the days away. Honestly, she feels selfish, keeping Terry here with her when she's like that, but she can't bring herself to tell him to go home. She's wasting his time. Selfish selfish selfish.
"Nowell-kun..." The nurse pulls him aside at the end of the week, when Kido is allowed to be discharged. She is here to give him more homework: do your best not to upset Kido, because it'll be hard for her to heal fully if she's overly emotional and distraught all the time; she's seen how every time Terry's in the hospital lately, somebody is either screaming or crying or dead. ]
