The whine Ken makes at the word 'months' is almost agonized. He's been laid up before, certainly, but this is probably the worst off he's ever been, and certainly the longest period of time he's ever had to spend healing. "You can't even bring me any of the stuff I want except food, byon!" Which is a fair complaint, honestly; Chikusa can't just bring him fights, and he's already refused sex, so what else is there?

Well, there's Mukuro. But Mukuro brings himself. And honestly, the thought of Mukuro almost depresses Ken further. "How long am I gonna be useless?" His eyes are a mix of pain and worry. Mukuro can't use him like this. If he's out of commission for that long, Mukuro might actually need to replace him. They don't even have Lancia to fall back on anymore as a front-line attacker. What does that mean for Ken? Will he still have a place to come back to, by the time he's able to help Mukuro again?
