Perhaps it had been the dust at the bomb site, or perhaps the stress of performing konso under less-than-ideal conditions, or perhaps it was sheer bad luck that had landed Jyuushiro Ukitake in bed with a debilitating cough that morning. He'd been woken by a faint pain in his chest shortly after midnight, and though he'd managed a fitful few hours of sleep more, he'd been exhausted by breakfast and forced to lie back down by midmorning. He had hoped that rest would be sufficient cure, as he disliked the idea of calling on the healers in Colligo so soon after the attack on the clinic. There were others in the city who had more need of them.

By noon, Ukitake was forced to admit that rest would not be enough to carry him through the day. He was growing short of breath, and the chills that wracked his spare frame told him he was developing a fever. All of the signs and symptoms indicated the onset of a severe episode. Far away from Soul Society and the experienced hands of Captain Unohana, Ukitake knew he could ill afford to ignore the warnings. He took a chance, and posted an inquiry to the network. He was grateful beyond measure for the response, though he feared his exhaustion kept him from adequately conveying his thanks.

Ukitake was all too glad to heed Tessa's advice once a healer had been found, and simply rest until assistance arrived.
