Shino was seriously injured, or at least he was a few moments ago; now he was more stable.

Unfortunately, the situation in a battle spiraled out of control, and he ended up being shot in the neck. Of course, Sousuke, who was practically Shino's brother—not related by blood, but they had grown up together—notified Satomi, because Satomi was the one who could assess the severity of the situation. Due to the blood he lost, Murasame, one of the most powerful demons, who was inside Shino, emerged and practically swallowed whoever had shot him in the neck. However, that wasn't enough, because Shino remained weak and unconscious. Once he awoke, Satomi, as his protector, offered him some of her blood so he could recover. For Satomi, losing about 5 liters of blood was practically nothing, because he was a kind of supernatural god.

However, after taking the blood, Shino fainted again. Finally, dusk arrived.

Shino seemed to be waking up. Satomi immediately stood up from the armchair, gently placing a hand on Shino's forehead to check his temperature. Once she felt the boy's temperature was at least normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling, Shino? Are you alright?" Satomi said briefly in a low voice, withdrawing her hand and noticing that the scar on his neck was gone, vanished. The area where Shino had bitten her earlier, on her shoulder, had also disappeared; because they weren't human, they healed faster. She sat on the edge of the bed, watching Shino intently, squinting. She wanted to be absolutely sure the boy was alright. "If you need more blood, you can take it, Shino," Satomi said, rolling up her sleeve and revealing her pale skin. Although Satomi was not one of those sentimental people, quite the opposite, he had been worried about the condition of his protégé; Shino.
