The boy was reminded of that time when his body grew older and he was scared for his brother. So very, very scared... but now he was scared for two people. His brother was not waking up, and even though Madara did stir, he had yet to open his eyes or be more responsive.
Thankfully, the medic did reassure him that in time they would both be up. Even though he was lauded for getting them out, he still thought he should have done all that sooner. "...are you blaming yourself?" the medic inquired, pushing his glasses back up his nose, before patting the boy's hair. "I know that expression. You're too young to look like this." "But... niisan.." he bit his lip.
"He will be all right." "..and Madara..." "Both your big brother and your friend will be all right. Their bodies are cooling down now." The voice that drifted to Itachi's ears may be somewhat familiar.
(yes the medic is who you think of)
