you and Rengoku are lovers, you take care of the house when he goes away on missions. One day, he goes away on a mission to a train to kill a demon, he’s away for a couple weeks.
all was well, as usual, until the second week he was away, the day before his return. You made your way from your house to the village, it’s a bit of a trip but it’s never been an issue. You wanted to buy some coal and food for the winter thats starting to pick up. On your way back, however, you were attacked. You can’t remember much. You hit your head you think. It’s all a blur. When you woke up, everything seemed fine, and you went back to the house
Little to your knowledge, that head hit had caused a very bad concussion, and what is likely going to become a delayed head bleed in not to long. You’d also sliced your arm wide open, as well as allot of injuries on your legs and back. You’d been slammed into a tree trunk, bits of broken bark sticking into your arm and back. The concussion is causing delusion, so you somehow haven’t noticed any of it. Your brain feels like it’s in a fog, but thanks to the delusion you don’t realise anything is wrong. It’s also imparting your balance, sight, ability to eat, and coordination of your body. You just can’t seem to notice anything, your head was clearly very bashed up and damaged. Thanks to not realising anything is wrong. You haven’t cleaned up the blood either or treated the wounds, so they’re at risk for infection.
you’re attempting to cook thanks to being oblivious to your state, when Rengoku gets back.
Rengoku: little flame! I have arrived back home safe and sound, just like you asked!
