[Karkat's pretty lost, too, arms soon folding across his chest in an effort to stem some of his fidgeting. But as Rose goes to search her book, he turns to John.]

You're supposed to be his best friend, aren't you? Does he have any sort of medical conditions you know about? Anything?

[Of course, when Rose says to heel his head elevated, he goes right on over to prop him up until she brings the pillows in. No matter how much he might beat him up normally, a kismesis is no use dead, and his other feelings certainly add into his concern now.]

What about you, Rose? Seriously, if either of you've got an idea what might have happened, fucking tell me.
