okay Look i love sounds a lot, i love description of burping/gagging/retching, but i feel like i don’t appreciate silent vomiting enough
a caretaker who’s cooking for the sick character. maybe they’ve got them bundled up at the kitchen table with a mug of tea while they stir the pot of soup with their back to the sick character. when they first hear the splatter of liquid on the floor, they think that the sick character must have spilled their drink, but the quantity of water seems too large, and when they turn around, they see that the sick character is vomiting all over the floor, silently heaving up wave after wave of liquid
or like i love the concept of sick characters trying to conceal illness, and taking it to the extreme with someone who’s trying to hide their vomiting while someone else is in the same room. they make almost no sound as they silently gag up mouthfuls of puke into their trashcan, but surely the other character will notice – maybe they can get away with it if they tie the bag and throw it away, but that all depends on the wave of illness passing soon…
