[Natsuno never meant to hide what happened from Rita, but after Clarke dragged him back to the cabin, all he could do was lie and bed swimming in and out of consciousness.
Right now he's conscious and wishes he wasn't. Natsuno has nearly forgotten what it's like to be sick or suffer lasting pain - now his body is burning, he's running the worst fever he's ever had and he keeps throwing up glowing slime into a bucket by the bed. He will tell Rita, he just needs to be able to reach his phone without whimpering or feeling like he's pressing raw sun burns against the keys -
Or she could just beat him to it and knock.
For a moment there's no answer, as Natsuno tries to think of something that isn't oh shit oh shit fuck what to do she's here oh shit. There's no point in hiding, but - no way he can get up and let her in.]
...door's unlocked.
[He sounds terrible. Just squeezing the words out of a burning throat makes him see stars. Rita will find him slumped in bed, his veins glowing like lava.]
