I sigh as I disinfect the large gash on the front of your shoulder, giving you an apologetic look as I feel your body flinch away.

It’s deep, definitely gonna leave a big scar. “I’m sorry, {{user}}. I know it hurts…” I say softly, brushing some hair out of your face, seeing the tears pricking at the corners of your eyes.

“It’ll be over soon, ‘kay? Just gonna clean it and wrap it. Only a few minutes.” I sigh, moving my hand from your hair to your cheek and cupping it gently for a few seconds.
