That seemed like the right time to catch his breath, and so he took a moment to allow his nerves to relax. It was only a moment, however. Right away, he reached into his Storage and took out a tube the size of his palm. Flicking the cap off to reveal the needle underneath, Dante immediately stabbed it into his leg.
The tube was a Nanomeds injector used for emergencies. Though it contained only a small dose, each one still cost more than what most people made in a year, which is why Dante felt a sting while using it, one that didn't come from the needle.
Dante was looking forward to the day he would no longer have to heal himself in these ways. He was well aware of his dependence on REDs, and though money wasn't as big a problem anymore, he didn't like using Nanomeds at all. It could be said that he just hated getting injured, just like most sane human beings. Nevertheless, there was no avoiding being hurt when he willingly chose such a dangerous life path.
