[It's only fair for him to turn his video on, too. Yujin's out of his cot and in a wood-paneled room filled with thick volumes and cloudy glass bottles: turns out a ship surgeon's duties don't wait for him when he's also hungover. One drink for courage had become a few more to celebrate his own boldness with the rest of the crew, and, well... 44-year-old Yujin isn't made of the same stuff as he was before.

Which I had not shared before now, because I had medical packs to assemble.

Hypothetically, of course.
[Obviously, they both already know what they're discussing, but what can he say? The game's fun.]
