Taylor got soup for Horror while he woke up slowly. It had been a few days since his skull wrapped, and he had surprisingly not tried to remove it... at least not with Taylor in the room. He hadn't said much about the struggle to get it wrapped. He didn't seem angry. It seemed like he only wanted to forget it ever happened, and honestly, Taylor was ok with that, just as long as he didn't go after his skull anymore. He would have to check it soon, but he could open that can of worms at a later date. For now, he would feed his patient. "Alright bones, how do you feel about cream of mushroom soup?" Horror's gaze was instantly riveted to the bowl, but once it was set it front of him... it seemed to take a real effort for him to turn away. "Bones? Horror? You need to eat..." He shook his head. "no, papyrus needs it more." Papyrus? Who was that? Someone from his world, obviously, but... he was obviously important. "Hey... Papyrus isn't here. We can find him, bring him here so he has food too. We won't run out. Just, you need to eat too, Bones..."

The bowl was left untouched, which was certainly not good. They needed to find this Papyrus. "Hey, where's Horror from? We need to find someone by the name of Papyrus." Dr. Sans looked at Taylor with fear in his eyes. "are you crazy? no, we don't! we don't need two cannibals in this hospital!" Taylor frowned deeply, narrowing his gaze. "Horror isn't a cannibal. He's starving. He's not gonna eat until Papyrus is here. It's my job to make him better, right? So get Papyrus here." He wasn't taking no for an answer, not today. Not with Horror's health on the line. He turned and headed back to his patient's room. "Alright, they are going to find him, ok? You can eat now... I swear on my soul there will be more than enough for the both of you." Horror looked nervously at Taylor. "y-ya sure..?"
"I'm sure, Horror, it's going to be ok..." With that, he slowly started to eat the soup. He kept looking at the door with a guilty expression as he started to devour the soup faster and faster. Taylor caught his arm quickly. "It's ok..."

The day continued as Taylor waited for an update on Papyrus. Horror was really feeling terrible without him, but at least he ate. The day came sooner than expected with a very tall, very lanky skeleton getting rushed in, unconscious. "Get some magic in that skeleton now! When he wakes up, get him something light to eat!" Taylor ordered as he followed them to a room. He could see in the skeleton the same symptoms Horror exhibited. It was his Papyrus. It was most certainly a good news, bad news situation he got himself into when he came back into Horror's room. Horror looked up at him with that red gaze of his. "papyrus..?" He'd been asking since Taylor first said they would find him. "Yeah... yeah he was brought in today." Horror sat up more, trying to get up. "i need to see him, i need to make sure he's ok!" Taylor pushed him down into the bed. "He's in treatment right now, Bones, same as you. You guys can meet up again when you are both healthier... ok..?" Horror tried to claw at his skull, but Taylor pinned his arms down. "it's my fault, it's my fault..! it's my fault..."
