[Yeah, he doesn't like that response. There's a shift in his own nanites. Frustration, discomfort--maybe a mix of both. He's not a doctor, and he barely understands his own nanomachines--let alone having to figure out foreign ones. For the first time in years, he wishes there was one of those doctors around.
Ziegler, Moira. They'd have some fucking clue, at least.]
Means he's not unconscious. Call an ambulance, Get him to the hospital. Don't know if you know first aid, but put him in the recovery position if you do. If he's comatose, he'll need help breathing.
[There's a short pause, as he takes a moment to describe to Ichimatsu how to roll his brother into the proper position, head tilted back and on his side.
The replies that come next are short, but to the point at least--sorry man, he's already on his way.]
Calm down. I'm made of nanites. Body won't let foreign ones interfere. Comatose doesn't mean he'll die.
[He's a fumbling disaster but he manages to dig Karamatsu out of his cocoon of blankets and lay him out as instructed, and then he sits in a heap on the floor in front of the couch trying to remember how to breathe. He's panicking, pretty badly, mostly because he doesn't really know what to do, but also because he only really remembers one time any one of them got really sick, and he only remembers that it was bad. He was pretty sure Osomatsu had nearly died, then, but currently Osomatsu was fine.]
[Karamatsu, however, was apparently comatose and needed help breathing. He forgot to call an ambulance.]
[Yeah, he can tell that's not working. It doesn't matter anyway, his reply isn't going to come in the form of words, but rather, a billowing, buzzing cloud of shadow is going to form just outside the door to the matsu house. A fist coming forward to bang on it, just once.
He doesn't have to do any more than that for the other to, hopefully, realise a certain ghost is at the door.]
[His mask is on and pulled up over his face more than it usually is, covering his mouth and his nose and probably part of his eyes, the rest of him covered by him having pulled his hood up-- it's like he's hiding, but he's opening the door anyway.]
[Normally, he might start this conversation with some snide remark, a cooly-voiced joke to tease the other. But this was different--it was serious, and he's never quite seen Ichimatsu looking so defeated.
He stares down at him through the hollows of his mask, before reaching up to pull it off. He pushes himself inside while peeling his coat off, shoving off both items into Ichimatsu's hands as he tosses his gauntlets aside as well.]
Ain't much of a doctor, but I knew enough to help out men on the field. [He can't say he can wake Karamatsu up, but he can at least keep him breathing until paramedics arrived.]
[He takes the cloak and mask dumbly, silent but oddly appreciative of being given a task, even if that task is "coathanger". He actually shifts the coat around so it drapes, folded, over his shoulders, and even then it nearly drags on the floor. He's cold, though, so even if Reaper didn't have any body heat to warm it with the extra layer can't hurt. The mask he just sort of hugs to himself in an oddly familiar way, stooping to pick up his gauntlets and set them on a table in the entryway.]
[He doesn't say anything, but points and then walks to the living room, pausing just before the door both to let Reaper go first and because he's still shaken all to hell at the fact that his brother is in a damn coma. This shouldn't be freaking him out as badly as it is, and he wants to figure out how to settle, but he's reminded of Eluvio, and he's reminded that death is permanent, here, and that this isn't just a gag skit that they'll wake up from when the punchline is through.]
[He'd have to be reminded of that feeling of fearing death, he can't say he can legitimately even fake it anymore. However, seeing the look on the usually dour, sour, or snide guy's face was enough to at least concern him.
If he lost his brothers...
No, there's little point in imagining a scenario like that. He goes to where he's pointed, and sure enough, there lies the usually loud and showoffish brother, now being the quietest he's ever seen him.
He's lying in the position he'd asked Ichimatsu to put him in, and the first thing he does is put a hand over his mouth. He can feel the warm tickle of breath--so at least he's breathing. He goes about poking at him in various ways, checking his vitals and for signs of injury; silent as the grave during the entire process.
When he's done, he heaves out a quiet sigh.]
I'll be calling that ambulance. Figure you'll want to go with him.
[He lingers in the doorway for a while, shuffling forward and setting the mask down on the table as he goes. He's sort of tangled up in your coat now, Reaper, hope you aren't wanting that back anywhere near immediately. He's stiff as he stands, but the sigh to Reaper's stature mellows him out just enough that some of the tension goes out of his own shoulders.]
...how bad is it that I don't want to? Hospitals fucking terrify me.
[He'll consider it a worthy sacrifice when help arrives, but for now I guess he's dealing with a cat caught up in his coat. He takes a moment to look at the other as he stands there, defeated looking.]
...No.
[He turns his head, looking offside.]
Hospitals are fucking horrible places.
You wanted to stay here? I'd consider that pretty fucking normal.
[He stares down at Ichimatsu who's hiding in the shadowy rescesses of his coat. He makes a face...
And then places a heavy hand down on his head. His palm scrubbing against the top of his hooded noggin.]
If you're useless, what the hell're you calling me? There ain't shit I can do about this fuckery either. He's still breathin', so whatever's causing this ain't anything related to my shit.
I'm just as useless as you are. Don't shove yourself into a gutter just 'cause you ain't qualified for shit like this. Won't hear that quitter talk. He's your family, right? Ain't no-one's way you can get into when it concerns you.
Still less useless than me, [He reaches up and covers Reaper's hand with both of his, frowning out from under two hoods. He's still wearing his little cloth medical mask, for what little good it won't do, so the frown is hidden, but somehow still obvious.]
At least you knew about that recovery position thing.
[He lets his hand idle against the top of Ichimatsu's head as the others' fingers stay planted there. His other hand is idly toying with his communicator, calling for help as they stand there. Wonder of technology, he could just send out a written message about the emergency without having to speak to any annoying operators.]
...Hah.
Tell you a secret, Brat?
That's basic first aid.
You learn that shit before they'll even let you sniff around a police station, let alone let you join the army.
[There's a minute where he's staring at the screen, waiting for a confirmation notice. When the message turns red for confirmed, he puts the thing away to look down at the miserable guy.]
Don't blame you. Cops suck, they're not people who generally get things done.
Especially given that you're from Japan. Bet you didn't know the Yakuza did more to help people than the police did during a bunch of different crises.
Didn't know a lot of things, probably. Knew where best to find cats, knew what kind of foods they liked best. ...knew a lot of weird shit, could probably still draw a map of the city's alleyways from memory.
[He almost regrets it-- what a stupid thing to say, right now, what a stupid thing to say at all? Good job, Ichimatsu, you're still a moron. He grunts, softly, staring down at his feet, and rolls his shoulders. At least his comment doesn't seem put-off.]
...you aren't that scary, Karamatsu's just a weenie.
[He considers for a moment. Just a moment. Being told he's not scary lights up a very recognisable feeling of irritation out of the bottom of his gut. But he'd be a liar to say that he hasn't invited that kind of opinion from the set of sextuplets--or at least the ones he's met already.]
...
He isn't scared of me either, you know.
When we first met, certainly. But not after what I did to him.
Saved his ass on Ira, didn't you? [He grins, the expression sort of... muddled, because he's tired, but in a way that almost makes it look fonder. Stop that, you goopy moron.]

Better to be friends with death than to fear it.
