He didn't look like someone who had been on the brink of death not long ago. If anything, he appeared far too stable for the level of concern the doctors had shown earlier.

When he had volunteered to donate blood, he had been completely drained from the fight, and giving that much blood had pushed his body to the limit. He had fallen asleep midway through the transfusion in the operating room, too exhausted to stay awake.
