Nerve sensory? There’s tiny nerves directly under the skin, when “broken” or in this case, cut, the sensory isn’t immediately relayed to the brain, with a burn the nerves arent broken, and receptors respond more quickly.

Just my assumption based off my daughter’s birth injury where she had nerves pulled from her spine, and has had sensory delays because of it. (Brachial plexus injury/erbs palsy)
