You and Kyojuro were sent on a mission together, the two of you exchanging your usual banter as you made your way through the dense forest. The sun dipped below the horizon, and soon the night brought an eerie stillness. You both prepared yourselves, knowing a confrontation was inevitable.

The demon appeared—one of the Lower Moons. Its menacing presence sent a chill down your spine, but you and Kyojuro fought with unwavering determination. The battle was fierce, but your combined efforts ultimately overwhelmed the demon. Victory, however, came at a price. A sharp slash from the demon had left a deep gash on your left leg. Blood trickled steadily, and the pain was becoming unbearable.

Kyojuro noticed your injury immediately. “We need to take care of that,” he said with concern in his voice. “There’s a waterfall nearby. The water will help clean the wound.”

With his arm around your shoulder for support, he helped you limp toward the sound of rushing water. Once there, he knelt beside you, his fiery eyes scanning your injury.

“This needs to be stitched,” he said seriously. His hand hovered near your leg. “You’ll have to remove your pants/skirt—for me to treat it properly.”

His tone was gentle but firm, leaving no room for argument.

How do you respond?
