Inside the house, Sophie had already taken off the gauze. Colby remarked, "Weren't you just crying because it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt when I do it myself, but when you do it in front of me, I just get so upset I feel like crying."
Colby was caught between a smile and a sigh, unsure how to react. He sprinkled some antiseptic on Sophie's wound, and she immediately felt a cool, soothing sensation. It was surprisingly comfortable.
"Did you used to munch on sweets when you got hurt?"
"Not me."
"Really?"
"I don't have a sweet tooth."
Colby chuckled, "Back then, when we went on missions, Odie, who was a hothead but quite delicate, often got hurt. He was too lazy to carry sweets, so he'd stash them in my pocket. I don't know if it really helped, but it seemed to work for him."
"No wonder..."
"All done," Colby said, quickly bandaging the wound. "Take it easy for a bit, don't stress about anything."
"Okay!"
Sophie snuggled into bed, poking her head out from the covers. "Why aren't you asking me why I'm okay?"
"...I don't really feel the need to ask."
"Why not?"
Sophie frowned. Even Jenna and the others were curious, yet Colby wasn't?
Seeing Colby's awkward expression, Sophie decided to spill the beans: "Actually, it was bec... Mmm!"
