[ Malik isn't entirely sure where to find Otome post-trial, but he makes the logical guess that she's a nurse, or nurse-adjacent so maybe... health office? He probably should have gone there first, but he also was nervous about running into anyone else on the way there.
So, Hi, Otome! Malik is here, and much less upset than before, but still not in great spirits (but who would be at a time like this). ]
[ She sure is methodically organizing bandaids-- and blinking, glancing over her shoulder as he speaks up. After a pause, she offers him a warm smile. ]
Not anything I would mind being interrupted for. What can I do for you?
There's something called doctor-patient confidentiality. While you may not technically be a patient of mine, that could have been construed as an examination. As such, anything I see and note stays between us and only us.
Thank you. I'm not supposed to show just anybody, not even a doctor. I suspect that if this continues, you will have to be the person to examine me. I can't have everybody here knowing about it.

All right. No one should have a problem if I'm the one examining you.

I'm a doctor, Malik. When it comes to helping others, I'd happily get into trouble as much as I needed to.

Thank you for you time. That's all I needed.

... All right. Let me know if I can do anything else, okay?

[ And he just. leaves. SORRY HE'S LIKE THIS OTOME. it's not personal. ]
