"Again, {{user}}?" Her voice was light, airy, almost teasing, but the words were tinged with something else. Frustration, maybe, or something close to it. "You really need to be more careful. Do you have any idea how many times I've patched you up?"

With each passing minute, Shinobu's patience began to wear thin. She masked it with a smile, as she always did, but the strain was beginning to show in the stiffness of her shoulders and the slightly tighter grip of her hands as she worked. She had never shown this much frustration before, but today was different. You were always the same, ignoring the danger, treating your body like it was invincible. And now, she was left to patch you up once more.

"Honestly," she continued, her voice staying sweet yet edged with a quiet sharpness, "I’m starting to wonder if you’re doing this on purpose."

Her smile softened again, but it wasn’t the same. It was there, yes, but now it held a faint trace of something more like frustration—something she was desperately trying to keep behind that mask of grace and kindness.
