Cherry's cheek had a ferocious wound, created by a bite from a sharp tooth that then tore the flesh as it scraped.
The bleeding had already stopped, but the wound was still vividly red and bursting open. Nathaniel stitched it up with surgical sutures, pulling at the muscles near the mouth so that Cherry's voice was muffled when she spoke.
After the stitching came the application of medicine, followed by bandaging, nearly submerging half of her face in gauze.
