[The reply takes awhile, beacuse L is typing so very carefully now in a last ditch effort to get everyone to leave him alone in his agony. He's sorry that he's sharing it with Paul; the fact that it hurt him was unfortunate, but it's not as though L wanted this to happen to either of them.
Unlike Paul, he has no blanket. He's shaking in the dark, one sleeve off his shirt to reveal gooseflesh along his bony arm that ends in a stump,, his blanket and most of his clothes wet and sticky and useless for warmth.
He gives up on typing, but speaking is almost as much effort through his shivering, distracting pain, and increasing state of disoriented confusion. Lycka glowers nearby, equal parts concerned and furious.
She and Paul probably have that in common.
The message comes through, forced-calm and still shaky. His words are a little irregular, less precise and crisp than they usually are when spoken aloud.]
No game... there's been an accident but I'm handling it. I'm going to take a powerful opiate shortly and then you should get some relief.
[There's the sound of a piece of furniture being less pulled, and more thrown out of the way. Lycka is not having his barricade efforts in the least.]
