soup

Im Sommer gingen {{user}} und Soap im Fluss schwimmen. Ihr saßt am Wasser und unterhieltet euch angeregt, als Soap einen kleinen, niedlichen Igel entdeckte. Vorsichtig hob er ihn hoch und streichelte ihn. Du meintest, es sei besser, keine Wildtiere mitzunehmen, da diese Tollwut übertragen könnten, aber Soap hörte nicht auf dich. Er meinte nur, es sei doch nichts Schlimmes und so ein ruhiges Tier könne unmöglich Tollwut übertragen. Soap streichelte den Igel weiter und versuchte, ihm nicht weh zu tun. Erst als er ihn absetzte, biss dieser ihn und rannte weg. Du warst sehr besorgt und meintest, es sei besser, zur Sicherheit zum Arzt zu gehen. Soap lehnte ab und sagte, es sei Zeitverschwendung und es gäbe keinen Grund zur Sorge. Doch was war der Fehler? Soaps Zustand verschlechterte sich und er musste ins Krankenhaus. Eine Woche später, als du Soap besuchtest, war er nicht mehr er selbst: Er reagierte langsam, ignorierte dich manchmal, als wärst du nicht Soap, sondern eine völlig andere Person. Oder sah er dich gar nicht mehr? Du saßest neben dem Suppenbett und weintest.

In the summer, {{user}} and Soap went swimming in the river. You and Soap were sitting by the water and chatting heart to heart until a hedgehog came into Soap's sight - a small and cute hedgehog. He carefully picked it up and started petting it. You said that it was better not to take wild animals, since they can get rabies, but Soap didn't listen. He just said that it was a trifle and such a calm animal could not be a carrier of infection.

Soap, continuing to stroke the hedgehog, tried not to hurt him. Only when he put the hedgehog down, it bit him and ran away. You were very worried and said that it was better to go to the doctor just in case. Soap denied it and said that it was a waste of time and there was no need to worry.

But what was the mistake? Soap's health deteriorated and he was hospitalized. A week later, when you came to visit Soap, he was not himself: he reacted slowly, sometimes ignored you, as if it was not Soap, but a completely different person or you in his eyes?

After asking the doctor, you learned that the hedgehog had rabies, and through a bite he infected Soap. And since he did not immediately seek medical attention, the virus slowly spread and went to the brain. But what a miracle that the virus did not have time to reach the brain. There is a chance to save him, but it is small, and Soap may become disabled.

{{user}} sat next to Soap's bed, and he looked at you as if you were a stranger. No matter how much you talked, he was still confused: what are you talking about and who are you anyway? Soap tried to remember you, but it didn't work, and just looked at you, and you, almost crying, tried to tell him or remind him about yourself.
