'Huh...?'

"Rabo? I need help."

"Lani?" Ranboo sat up as he reached for his phone. "It's...it's midnight. You should be asleep."

"Yeah yeah, don't baby me. Tommy and Toby can't sleep, I don't know why they're struggling so...out of the blue."

"Oh," Ranboo stood up after sliding on his house shoes. Eret made them. "Afinity and Apricity usually stayed in their with them. Maybe even Koe. Afinity is such a brotherly person, and the nurses trust him. Apricity is worried about them, sure, but he's there for Eret, mostly." They started to walk to the hospital courtiers.

"Why don't you go?" Lani questioned.

"Well, I didn't know they did that until recently. It didn't cross my mind." They walked in silence the rest of the way. When they went into the room, Tommy was sitting up, talking to a half-asleep Tubbo.

"I just feel so useless at the moment, Y'know? It fuckin' sucks."

Ranboo smiled. "Well Toms, do you wanna go on an errand with me tomorrow? I have something I have to do. You can come along."

"Wait, really?!" Tommy straightened. "Wait," he slowed, "what about Tubs?"

"Toby's scheduled to start physical therapy and other treatments to speed up his recovery. His ankle is about good as new, but his shoulder is another thing." Lani smiled.

"Lani's right." Ranboo turned towards a confused Tommy.

"He hasn't started physical therapy yet?!"

"Well," Ranboo paused, "you only have one wound to heal, which wasn't as, difficult. Remember when they put you under a few days ago?" Tommy nodded. "They moved all your muscles and such into their proper places. Then, they skin graphed the whole thing and stitched it, as you can see." Tommy looked down at his leg and traced the stitches with his index finger. "So, along with the magnitude of medical drugs we have, you've healed quickly. You should be able to walk with without your crutch soon."

Ranboo paused, and Lani spoke up. "Toby, on the other hand, got the correct treatment and had it stitched in time, but we were concerned about his arm strength whilst treating it. The area is super sore, so we'll have to train the damaged tissue back into shape. Besides, I need a practice partner; the others have stuff to do." She smirked.

Tubbo was about to speak before a few knocks hit the door. Just 2. 'Weird,' Ranboo thinks as he walks to the door. "Hey?- oh hey Koe." He opened the door fully as Koe slid into the room.

He was wearing fuzzy, pink pants with a red hoodie that looked hand-stitched. It was big on him, so it must have been an XL or XXL. He was holding two books, and a journal of sorts. "I was coming in here because Apricity and Afinity aren't here, but if I'm not needed..."

"Oh no Koe. You can stay in here with them. I'll stay in here as well." Ranboo smiled. "Lani needs some rest anyway. Don't you have an exam in the morning?" He questioned.

"Oh faex!" And she ran out of the room after giving her brother a shoulder squeeze and whispering 'bye!' as she closed the door.

"Faex?" Tubbo looked to Ranboo and Koe.

"Faex is 'shit' in Latin." Koe pointed out as he sat in the chair beside Tommy's bed, pulling a pen from behind his ear.

"Mhm." Ranboo confirmed as he walked to the nurses cabinet and opened it. He reached into the back of the cabinet and pulled out some Luden's. They opened one and stuck it in their mouth.
