[Even as Gojyo is opening his eyes, words leaving his lips, he'll feel not only the sting of blight, angry and aching.]
[There's dozens of other pains, too, all across his chest, small pinpricks.... glittering metallic through his shirt. There'll be spots of blood, probably, but only spots. Nothing so serious as to make crimson blooms across his clothing, although the yoyo in Chikusa's grip could very well do that and so much worse.]
[His hands are fast; the book hits the floor long after the needles have left his weapon.]
[Chikusa isn't breathing. It hasn't even occurred to him to breathe. His mind is detached again, running through a dozen things he needs to do. There's no need for an antidote; he knows his weapons. The poison in those needles can't even be called as much. He'd used the "nonlethal" yoyo- a thing for targets needed alive or just to get people off his back against any potential murder. All it should do is knock Gojyo out, if he's human enough. Make him sluggish, at the very least.]
[Everything else, he can do after he's positive that blight won't spread any further.]
