Walking into Hilltop, Carson redirects Ben, Jae, Jessie, Taeyang, and I to a trailer that was fixed up to be an infirmary.

"We'll meet you after," Glenn assures.

"Be safe, oppa," I remind.

"You too," he points to the four of us.

The six of us carry Daniel's gurney into the trailer, setting him on one of the many beds.

"Are all of you family?" Carson inquires.

"Just me," Ben raises his hand, "I'm his little brother."

"Good. I'm gonna need family medical history and his information. Would you happen to know his blood type?"

"A, just like our dad," Ben answers.

Carson nods, picking through his desk to find a clipboard, pen, and paper, "And your type? Just in case we need to do a transfusion."

"AB," Ben says, sitting down beside Daniel's bed.

Carson sucks in a breath through his teeth, "You won't be able to donate. He's gonna need someone with A's or O's."

"Me," I step forward, "I'm a A+"

"I'm O-. So, me too," Jessie adds.

"That's good. You're both willing to do a transfusion if need be?"

"Of course," Jessie nods, "Anything."

"Good, good. Was anyone there when he sustained the injury?"

"Both of us," Taeyang points between me and himself.

"Do you recall when it happened? How? How long ago? What were his symptoms immediately after?"

"Wow, that's a lot of questions," I mutter.

"We were on a run and someone from our team shot a grenade that was strapped to a walker unknowingly. It was in a warehouse, so he probably hit the shelving or equipment there. It was maybe a month ago and he was unconscious for about a week and a half," Taeyang answers.

My head only spins as he remembered and answered everything so easily and quickly. Carson was writing so quickly, I was sure his hand was going at a speed that I would never be able to match.

"And symptoms he is still facing?"

"Dizziness has been the main thing. But, we have noticed that his memory is off. But, this was the first time he's passed out suddenly like this."

"Memory off how exactly?"

"It's like he's been making up things that haven't happened. Or, he's forgetting events that have happened. Talking about people that are no longer with us like they're still around type of thing," Ben answers this time.

"Any issues with his speaking? Concentration? Headaches?"

"I mean.. pretty much all of those," Ben nods.

"We share a room back home," Jae speaks up, "He's been struggling with our shared bed, lights, and loud noises, too."

Carson nods, standing back up to pick up a light from his desk. Hovering over Daniel, he uses one hand to hold the light and the other to pry his eyelids open. After checking he hums and nods like he figured the results before they were confirmed.

"Just by basic evaluation, it sounds like TBI," Carson reads over his notes, "Which most definitely calls for a CT scan."

"How soon do you think we could do that?" Ben asks.
