... I won't. [He says it calmly, but there's a cold pit in his stomach when he hears that request. He steps out, but as soon as he does, he starts running, stumbling a bit, wings flapping uselessly and scattering half-stained feathers.
He's scared. He's really scared. That something might happen to this person, this haibane, he just found.
When he reaches the room, he seems to startle the older haibane there who was probably expecting him to be in bed with a fever still, not running around with unfurled wings. The older haibane had set things up for him, had a strange, fine little brush and other things to tend to wings.
Maybe he was supposed to lie down? No, probably expected to, he's worried he might be stopped, so he quickly tears away to grab clean clothes and leave. There was another cocoon. He didn't know why he didn't say it outloud. You missed the other haibane who hatched today.
Was it selfishness? Did he want to be the only one to take care of the other haibane, the one he found on his own? Whatever the case, he would run back with a change, grab the brush himself (you can't clean your own wings...?), and race back to him!]
