I let the doctor check me over as I think about what he said, though it hurts when the shirt comes off. Possibly more than bruises and cuts then, unless the cuts were deeper than I thought. Sakurada-san is watching as she pokes and prods and frowns at me.
I would have preferred to go home and get healed normally, but I was right the first time - I have a duty here. I might miss Kaoru-san and Kouga-san's wedding, but I'm a Knight. I have a responsibility to these people, even if my arrival was accidental. Horrors are my issue, not theirs.
The doctor comes into my sight, looking at me. "Several deep cuts, some possibly torn muscles, swelling. Some of the cuts are looking pretty nasty, so I'm going to clean them, all right?"
I wince, but that doesn't seem to deter her at all as she reaches for her kit.
