Story Synopsis
A small cut can look surprising, but your body is prepared. This story explains healing in a calm way. Miluna shares that when skin breaks, blood helps form a clot and then a scab.

In One Glance
Wound healing is a step-by-step process. First, blood vessels constrict and platelets help form a clot, creating a scab that protects the cut. Then the immune system clears germs and damaged cells. Next, new tissue forms and skin cells grow to cover the area. Over time, the skin strengthens and remodeling continues. Most small cuts heal on their own with gentle cleaning and protection. The story frames healing as a calm, helpful body process.
