Chapter 6

Just When I Thought

  I thought everything had been going great! They always seemed to be just fine, so why? What's happening to Them?

  I had gotten so caught up in my new life, I had failed to notice the ever growing ghastly paleness on Their face.

  "Are you alright?", I worriedly sk.

  "A-ah, I, I'm fine, r-really! You don't need to worry about me, I just caught a... cold. Yeah, a cold! I'll be better in no time!"

  But with me being the fool I am, I decided to continue living in my fantasy and did not push it any further.


  I can't have Them worry, not now, not while there is still a chance! The recovery rate is low, less than 1/4, but that's still 25%! I just need them to not find out about this doctor visit...


  Perhaps I should've. They have been getting extremely dizzy these past weeks, and the paleness hasn't gone away, so I decided to step out of dreamland for a bit, and demanded them to quit their job. I simply cannot risk Them getting injured as a result of whatever is going on!

  I took up a second job, and some 2 weeks later I accumulated enough money for a trip to the doctors. Maybe he can see what's wrong with Them!
