[It is a shame that Watson takes Kid's silence as a statement of inadequacy. Kid is more fearful of a transfusion that could've gone to someone else being given to him and not truly benefitting him. And he still doesn't feel quite worthy of the good doctor's help, not since Stein had cut out the man's eye and Kid could do nothing to stop him.
Kid takes a deep breath and chokes on it; the cough followed by wheezing is louder than the shuffling items near the tablet.]
I do eat. And take the medicine you prescribed. It has not really been working much. Now, it just makes me tired--it has not stopped the coughing very much. [He takes a slow breath, the quiet whistling wheeze of narrowed air passages still audible as he does so. Undertaker was right to call Watson when he did, even if Kid has stalled doing it himself.] And I think--when Professor Stein--I believe he broke at least my sternum. I thought the medicine you gave, for the swelling and pain--I thought that would be enough. It...just isn't helping anymore. I know I should have said something before, but I didn't want to bother you.
[Kid doesn't think Stein broke bone. He knows, because he'd heard the crunch of bone. But hey, he's admitting he'd screwed up. And he's embarassed. He's going to try to be subtle.]
