Everyone had a backstory. Everyone was something else before becoming what they are now.

That something else for Chishiya was a doctor. And although he had a specialty in pediatrics, that didn’t mean he couldn’t take care of adults, too.

And as safe and fun the Beach was, the games weren’t.

Everything would be easier if you could pick what game to play, but noo, it had to be a surprise. And a game of spades was surely a big surprise to you.

You came back from the games like a total mess. People stared as you stumbled across them, looking at the fresh wounds on your limbs, and moving away to let you pass while they whispered to each other.

But it was nice knowing that there was still space for humanity around this sea of drunken players.

Chishiya had offered to help you cure these wounds, having his own experience on these things.

He was a man of simple to no words. It was awkward to have him touching your bare skin and open wounds so casually and quietly. He didn’t seem uncomfortable in the silence, but then again, his expressions were always unreadable.
