1. "Hmm..." 2. "I think we'd need to wait a bit more and see how you're doing..." 3. "Any chance I could be discharged temporarily...?" 4. "... Um," 5. "Oh..." 6. "As I feared, it's gotten much worse since your last examination..." 7. "I see... that's what I figured..."

1. worse, app 2. I'd be better to wait and see. 3. How many times have I been told that now? 4. Sigh... 6. "Okay." 7. "Kaori-chaaan, I'm here to change your IV."

4. While exposing the fragile parts of her heart...

1. "..." 2. She hasn't messaged back yet... 4. "Thanks for today. I have examinations tomorrow and the day after so I'll be busy but I'll let you know when it's okay to come visit again." 5. "Got it"

2. Examinations, huh... 3. "They said that I might not leave the hospital again..." 4. "I'm going to die." 5. She used to send so many messages, and now there's been silence for an entire day. It makes me anxious. 6. I wonder how bad Kaori's body is doing.

1. I wonder if she's all right... 2. "..." 3. "!!"

1. "I'm all done with examinations~! You can come starting tomorrow afternoon!" 2. Thank goodness... 3. "I look forward to your novel" 4. My novel... 5. "Thank go"

1. "..." 2. The romance novel about me and Kaori. 3. The one I blurted out in an attempt to somehow keep us together. 4. My unadorned feelings for Kaori will form the base of the novel. 5. Even if I dramatize it a little, though I don't want to write straight-up lies. 6. I plan to write about what happened this summer. 7. "..." 8. It's a little late to be saying this, 9. but the thought of showing those feelings to others is embarrassing.

1. Well, I did say that I wanted her thoughts on it, 2. And Kaori is looking forward to reading it... 3. For now, all I've written is the beginning. 4. ...I wonder if I should show her. 5. "Time to get out." 6. "..." 7. I can't afford to be crippled by embarrassment now. 8. I need to write.

1. In order to uphold my promise to Kaori. 2. In order to create a reason for me to go see her. 3. "Shi-zuku!" 4. "...Hey." 5. "I was waiting for you. Come on in."

1. "Thanks." 2. "Ahh, you don't have to worry about bringing me anything!" 4. "...Here." 5. "I thought there might be some things you couldn't eat... but I figured water would be fine." 6. "Hmm... same as always. Said we need to wait and see." 7. "How did the examinations go?" 8. "More importantly, your novel! Did you write anything?" 9. "I wanna read it!" 10. "...Wait." 11. "..." 12. "And that a temporary discharge might not be realistic... something like that." 13. "Eheheh..."

1. "?" 2. "No, I brought it, but..." 3. "?" 4. "ah" 5. "Is it not ready yet?" 6. "You don't have to force yourself to act cheerful in front of me." 7. "Kaori."

1. "When you cried the other day, that was closer to the real you, wasn't it?" 2. "You're always smiling, so I never knew, but..." 3. "I don't want you to force yourself to act in front of me." 4. "...You don't have to force a smile." 5. "When you're feeling down, I want you to say so."

1. "...Kaori," 2. "You were the one who said I could lean on you." 3. "I want you to lean on me, too." 4. "I was happy when you said that... so..." 5. "...It's not that you're not depend-able... But..." 6. "...Although I might not be the most dependable person."

1. "...If you don't change, I won't show you my novel." 2. "...My novel is written from my point of view, so it's like showing you what I'm really thinking..." 3. "...What!? Wh... why not!?" 4. "...That's why it'd be unfair if you didn't also do the same. ...Is what I think."

1. "So..." 2. "Yeah, you might be right that it's unfair." 3. "Making myself smile is an ingrained habit, so I'll see what I can do... is that good enough?" 4. "I guess I'll be just a little selfish in front of you, then." 5. "...Yeah." 6. "Sounds good." 7. "Ah... okay." 8. "Okay, now show me what you wrote! I've been really looking forward to reading it!"
