Nathan woke up the next day feeling better than he did the previous night. The wound on his shoulder no longer hurt. However, a little bit of pain remained there after experiencing a deep sleep with a fever overnight. There were bandages wrapped around his chest.
His back ached fiercely at certain spots where the wounds had been inflicted earlier in the evening. It seemed like they had torn some important muscles since those spots would give him intense pain whenever he tried to move in a specific way.
He tried to figure out where he was. "A hospital room?"
A short while later, he heard footsteps approaching. He heard a faint voice.
"Hey!" Nathan called out loud. "Who is it?"
The door opened.
Nathan turned around and saw Marco walking towards him and smiled at him awkwardly. "You're finally awake." He said while offering Nathan something small wrapped in paper. "This is for you."
