This isn't good. There's a jagged stab wound in his lower side, and in the frenzy he'd managed to get away, but he won't stop bleeding.
Konstantin can't find Vasiliy in the house, he's probably rushed out to find him, or maybe he's off helping give medical attention to anyone who needs it, but Konstantin doesn't spend much time at the cabin. He needs help, and there is someone he can go to, someone who knows about his "condition". (Is the creature harmed, too? He doesn't know. He doesn't think the wall of his stomach was struck by the knife that stabbed him in his side, but the thing is being oddly still, not moving. Maybe it's afraid.) He grabs a few items, stuffs them into his bag, and sets off, wincing sharply against the pain in his side, a towel shoved against the wound.
Dragging himself to Svetlana's takes a while, especially since he has to sneak around behind buildings and keep a low profile. He could be attacked again any moment by one of the Forest Talkers. It's absolute chaos outside.
Somehow he manages to make it to the woman's cabin and can only hope that she's inside — unharmed and safe, and maybe she can help him. But he's dizzy from blood loss and exhaustion, and all but falls against her door with a heavy thud. The cosmonaut barely manages to lift a fist and rap on her door, before his arm falls back down.
— Svetlana Nazarova. (cw: stab wound, alien parasite fuckery)
