[If there's anything Matou Byakuya is actually useful at, it's first aid. He has been a single father for going on nine years now, after all, and that's not counting what he's learned since meeting Kirei. It's his one decent skill, so he's more than happy to contribute to the household by playing nurse when it's required. There is, despite his resentment and despite the urge to hide and not deal with anything, a constant aching guilt for being ultimately useless. He feels a little less like everyone is judging him if he does this.
He roots around in the kit for a bit, then sits up on his knees to start in on those cuts whether Kariya wants him to or not. This, at least, is a little bit like that short time when they were both small and Kariya was still "just a baby" and not "the one I've been thrown away in favor of."]
