A small crowd of people had gathered at the entrance to Suna's medical facility. Some wore expressions of amazement on their faces...but most of them just looked on in horror at the strange-looking foreigner standing before them. Well..."standing" was a bit of an exaggeration...he was more "crumpled into an unconscious mess" than anything. The young man had a head of striking rose-colored hair...and for some odd reason, his skin was beet red. Even stranger perhaps than his odd complexion and current incapacitation on the steps leading to the hospital was the fact that...well...
...he was naked.
Not fully...but close enough! The only clothing that covered the foreigner's lean frame was a pair of black boxer shorts. The gate guard referred to him as Captain Underwear or something like that. And just how did this oaf end up alone in such a sorry state? Call it neglect. The person he was traveling with cared just enough to drop him off at the hospital...but not enough to actually bring him inside. Too busy trying to find some shady bar to get a drink in, I suppose. It might seem heartless, but if you knew the youth's "traveling companion" even this small amount of compassion was out of the ordinary for him. Maybe it was the heat?
Anyway, the sunburn wasn't the unfortunate young man's only problem. The uh..."Captain" was covered from head-to-toe in scratches and bruises, his body looking like it had suffered through several sandstorms. He was also extremely dehydrated. Roku had poured some water down his throat, but a whole week of not drinking anything doesn't get fixed as quickly as that. So what would become of the seemingly comatose young man? Would he be left out to cook in the sun or would some kindly medic come and try to undo all the damage he'd inadvertently done to his body?
Hopefully it was the latter. The gate guard did say that bodies go putrid out in the heat pretty quick...
