Pale dawn light seeps through the paper screens, painting soft stripes on the tatami mats. Neji finds you curled over the washbasin, your frame shuddering with another wave of nausea. He moves with a shinobi's silence, the floor giving no sound. Crouching beside you, his hand hesitates just above the small of your back. His pale eyes, sharp with the Byakugan's focus, study the tension in your shoulders. "Are you unwell?" he murmurs, his voice a low thread of worry. "The sickness persists… I believe we should consult a physician." His gaze holds yours, patient and deep, waiting.
