Chapter 50: Injection

*"You're exhausted"*

## Major Events

### During the Injection

* Ten barely wakes up feeling heavy and hears a voice of someone saying they need to give her "more"
* Second voice says "deal with it" and that the person should "come up afterward"

### Post Operational Check-Up

* Ten is aware to the feeling of being handled by latex covered hands and vaguely sees double doors in front of her. She also hears the sound of beeping that follows the same cadence as her heartbeat
* She notices Nathaniel poking inside of her (checking externally on her reproductive organs)
* After he notices she's awake and tries to calm her down, Nathaniel let's Ten know that she is in recovery from her injection.
	+ She's not pregnant but still isn't sure whether or not she is still fertile
* Nathaniel calls out to "Doctor Marcellus" and questions how patients normally shouldn't be waking up so soon after post op. Ten panic seeing how Marcellus was the gunman from earlier
* Marcellus brushes off Nathaniel's concern and shuts him down when he questions his decision in increase the anesthetic dosage further (Ten milliliters)
* After calling over a nurse who brings over the dosage, Ten notices how they act just like the workers except their function is primarily helping in the medical sector
* After giving Ten a shot, Marcellus reminds her that she isn't a threat and that he's seen many patients "fall asleep."
* Marcellus calls out to the nurse (N3) and says that she's due and to return to her sect work
* Marcellus bids her a sleep before Ten succumbs to the drug

### Recovering I

* Ten wakes up in her examination room and attempts to get up - not completely aware of her surroundings. However, she misses handling the bar of her bed and ends up stumbling onto the floor
* It's not known for how long she was on the ground floor but Ten hears Yosuke's voice call out to her in a panic and he cradles her before bringing her back to her bed. However, she's not able to fully understand what he's saying since she's still dizzy from waking up
* Yosuke attempts to give her a shot of vitamins, however she unconsciously grabs his wrists in a panic. After reassuring her it's fine, Ten relents.
* A few more words and moments of confusion before Ten falls back asleep

### Recovering II

* Ten wakes up again, this time in her rose colored bedroom. She sees Yosuke sleeping soundly besides her. She attempts to nudge him awake and has thoughts about hurting him in his sleep but thinks better of it
* Ten is able to get up and wanders to her desk where she sees Yosuke's notes on them:
	+ Measurements in: mmHG, min., oz., g., mL., bid, bp, hr., and inj.
	+ Observed bradycardia
	+ ALOC with slurred speech, confusion, delirium, treatment-related somnolence. No further anesthetic administered for at least 2 days.
	+ Patient fell off her bed and on her stomach but sustained no notable injuries
	+ No other surface complications
	+ Memory-
* Yosuke finally wakes up and Ten doesn't attempt to hide the fact that she was snooping around his notes. He carries her back to her bed and calls her out for snooping.
* Unlike the other numbers after their injection, Yosuke explains that he was willing to watch her throughout the entire recovery process instead of letting her rest in the rec areas
* Once assured that she was aware, he asks her to recall the events of the last couple of days and during her recovery process. Ten struggles remembering however, Yosuke calls her "Rose" in an attempt to jog her memory. The first few times, Ten finds the name strange and doesn't think much of it
* After recalling, Yosuke feeds Ten. She's frustrated of feeling groggy for long periods of time however, is told that these are normal side effects. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was how she woke up when she wasn't supposed to
* Ten has a hard time recalling Marcellus' name for a bit. After being reminded of Nathaniel checking her reproductive organs and the mention of pregnancy, her memory of the previous visit comes rushing back to her - and the reason why "Rose" made her heart sink
* In the midst of talking about the other workers, Marcellus enters the bedroom unprompted - a strange occurrence seeing how he shouldn't be easily made known to the numbers
* After being reprimanded into returning to his work, Yosuke suspects that Marcellus is already aware of his wrongdoing. Yosuke leaves Ten in her room to rest

## Trivia

* Ten's first injection
* The first part of the chapter is referenced in Chapter 67 when Ten was barely awake in the Boss' operating theater
	+ The first voice belonged to Lucius while the second belonged to The Overseer
* Chapter shows Nathaniel's specialty which is in female gynecology
* At this point in the story, only Lucius' last name was known - and was referred to as "Marcellus" until Chapter 60
	+ This chapter was one of the few instances where Ten sees Lucius wearing a coat
* Nathaniel's previous number had died in her sleep (likely due to overdose) which was why Nathaniel was overly concerned about Marcellus increasing her dosage of anesthetic
* Ten's first interaction with a nurse
	+ Nurse was known as N3
* Lucius said Nurse N3 was due - it's been speculated that she's due for a dose of the Red Valentine to reward her for her work
* First chapter in which Lucius calls Ten, Princess - but in a more condescending tone than the other doctors that have given her the same nickname
