When the caretaker has to take care of several whumpees at the same time, and they barely have time to take care of themself because they’re so busy. The caretaker neglecting sleep so they can make sure the whumpees are all ok, and barely getting a moment sit and relax, because someone always needs help. The caretaker barely managing to care for all the whumpees until they’ve recovered enough to care for themselves, and then the caretaker collapsing, and all the whumpees having to work together to care for the caretaker, because none of them have recovered enough to care for them alone.
When the caretaker sits watching over the badly hurt whumpee for more than 24 hours, making sure they’re alright until the rest of their team can get there, even though it means neglecting themself. The rest of their team arriving to find the exhausted caretaker still sitting by the whumpee’s bedside, barely even able to keep their eyes open. The team quickly realizing that the caretaker’s been taking care of the whumpee the whole time and ignoring their own needs, and one of the team taking over the caretaker’s place by the whumpee while the rest of the team coaxes the caretaker through a quick meal. Them then getting the caretaker to change into some pajamas, and guiding the practically asleep on their feet caretaker to bed. The caretaker falling fully asleep the second their head hit the pillow, and their teammates gently tucking them in before going to check on the whumpee sleeping in the next room.
When the whumpee is so distracted by their work that they completely forget to take care of themself, and they end up passing out in the middle of a meeting. The others in the meeting having no idea what to do, and calling the caretaker, who is somewhere else in the building, to come get the whumpee. The caretaker rushing to get the whumpee as soon as they find out what happened, and taking the now waking up whumpee home, forcing them to go to bed and eat the soup that they bring them, and deciding to make the whumpee promise to take better care of themself when the whumpee is up to having that conversation.
