Having drifted deeper into the warm, golden state of calm, the Replica nearly missed Kibitoshin's wavering words. Instead Sechs simply nodded and gave out a drowsy murmur. "Huh? Uh, sure, whatever..."

Suddenly, like a light switch being flicked off without warning, the blissful warmth vanished into nothingness, leaving the wound healed halfway and still stitched together. Perturbed and just a tad annoyed to find that the healing had stopped so abruptly, Sechs' eyes flickered open just in time to catch sight of Kibitoshin collapsing over like a rag doll.

"Whoa! What--?!" Sechs could barely finishing uttering out his yelp before he tried to stoop over and catch the falling Kaioshin but was too late. It happened all too suddenly and his sluggish mind was still waking up from his dazed stupor. With his hands still reaching out, the Replica's face blanched as he watched Kibitoshin flop over with a dull thud.

Sechs froze. Within moments he experienced a quick succession of reactions. First it was bewilderment over the sudden change in events, which was then shortly followed by a sting of irritation. "What is he doing?! He was almost done healing my leg there!" Sechs angrily brooded to himself until a sense of worry swiftly took over his callous mindset. "Wait a sec! He wouldn't do that on purpose! Oh no--!"

Within seconds the Replica scrambled off the bed and was crouched low by the unconscious Kaioshin's side. Wincing from the remaining pain in his leg, Sechs rolled Kibitoshin over onto his back and hastily parted the curtain of white hair from his face. Sechs blinked. Holy crap! He was out cold! But how..? "Kibito? Kibito! You... You alright..?" He gave Kibitoshin's shoulders a shake. "C'mon man! Wake up!"

But Kibitoshin didn't wake up. For a moment that terrified Sechs more than he'd like, he thought that the Kaioshin had died. Yet a second later he caught sight of him breathing. Whew! Yet what got him to faint like that in the first place...?

...Oh right! When Kibitoshin healed his wrist he ended up looking pretty drained after. The ki power was taking up his energy! Dammit, he should have asked Kibitoshin about what happened, but he got too distracted by his wrist's recovery to notice how weary Kibitoshin was! Healing his leg must have completely sucked his power dry! Now a new feeling that felt far worse than the first three overcame the Replica: guilt.

"Shit! Now look what you've gone and done Sechs! You idiot! You should have left the stupid wound alone!"

Gritting his teeth together, Sechs mentally swatted away at his guilt like a pestering fly. Now wasn't the time for beating himself up! It wasn't his fault that this happened (although his guilt begged to differ...) but it was his problem! Whether he liked it or not the Kaioshin was his friend now, he couldn't leave him like this! With a few pained grunts Sechs struggled to lift the limp healer up until he managed to clumsily place him back onto the bed. Dammit, this would have been much easier if he had his Fizziroy body back...

Once the concerned android finished awkwardly shuffling the Kaioshin into a more comfortable spot on the bed, he hastily pulled his pants back on and then gracelessly sat himself down beside the unconscious Kibitoshin. The same expression of a confused animal took over Sechs' face as he gazed down at his friend. He tried to think of what to do but his flustered brain came up with nothing. The Replica sank into a defeated slouch. What was he supposed to do now...?

"Kibito...shin...?"
