[First things are first, which means splashing a bit of water over the wound to clear away some of the blood and let him see things better. They’ve had this kind of song and dance before, so Chikusa isn’t particularly worried about Ken as he presses his fingers into skin and the wound itself to make sure there’s nothing still stuck inside. With how basic things are here and how violently Ken ripped out the wound… It’s a real concern.]
[Bad news is that there are a few splinters. Good news is that, as someone who uses needles regularly, one of the things Chikusa carries on him is a pair of tweezers. It only takes a minute or so for him to clear out the wound, washing it again now and then with more water, before he’s satisfied. It’s as he goes to wrap things up that he speaks again.]

You’re going to have to not aggravate it, Ken…
