Cillian looked worried. "Have you always taken care of yourself like this? Don't you know that even things that hardly ever happen can still happen?"

While they talked, Yitty's finger was already wrapped up with a band-aid.

Yitty stared at the new cartoon band-aid on her finger and could not help but be amazed. "Why do you have band-aids with you?"

"Is it weird?" Cillian was picking up the broken glass on the floor. "I didn't mean to bring it, but now I think I'll have to carry band-aids with me all the time. Maybe I'll need to bring extra, just in case someone gets hurt and doesn't know how to stop the bleeding." Touching the band-aid on her finger, Yitty felt like the band-aid was fixing more than just her cut-it was like it was mending something inside her too.
