i love the moment when the whumpee takes a turn for the worse
- they suddenly start coughing, their face turning red and blood spraying from their mouth
- they’re fixing their eyes ahead, not responding to anything, and they’re starting to shake
- their body goes limp and skin turns clammy and their breathing slows down
- they start to convulse, tears running down their face, fingers grasping at whatever’s near them
- all of a sudden they have a 105º fever and their face is flushed and sweaty
- they are gasping and wheezing and clutching at their throat because they can’t breathe
- their stitches rip, and now blood is soaking through their clothes, and they give a pained grunt as they look at their team, terrified
- and now the alarms are going crazy, or the team is screaming for a medic, or their bedside is surrounded by doctors and nurses
