[He is legitimately startled by it. It's pretty rare that Tenka is every sharp with anyone, but especially not with him. It silences him for a moment.
Why can't he leave it alone? Because it is interfering with Tenka's health. Why not this one thing? Because there should be nothing. This...is not total trust, no matter what Tenka says to justify it. This is still a fractured, incomplete trust, and he doesn't even know why.
But it's clear that arguing it will change nothing, and the longer he does argue it, the longer Tenka goes without at least attempting to treat his own injury. Abruptly, without a word, Sousei stands.]
... Visit the doctor tomorrow. [Let someone else look at it, if you're so intent on keeping secrets from him. Better at least someone takes care of it. And then he turns to go. It's hard to say if Tenka wants him gone from the apartment while he tends to it or just the room, so he'll take the safest option of all. He'll go for a walk.]
