At least the plate had the decency to open on its own. Still, it was rather surreal to see even part of the boss uncloaked. He was about to grab the med kits set aside when Scarlet spoke. It was almost a blessing Matias was facing away from her, because the face he made was anything but pretty. Scrunched nose, furrowed brow, clenched jaw... All in all, not too happy. He took a moment to take in a single breath to calm his nerves before facing the boss again.

"Now's not the time to be assuming people's identities," he grumbled, "Get some dressing ready. I'm gonna disinfect this."

He took a pad from one kit and a bottle of alcohol in another, then dampened the former with the latter. The resulting chemical smell filled Matias's nostrils. He gently pulled up the boss's shirt, which took some effort as the fabric around the afflicted area was just beginning to stick to their skin.

"If you're awake... This is gonna sting."

He dabbed the pad on the edges of the wound, careful not to do it directly on it just yet. He saw the pad gaining rust-like stains, but he continued despite it.
