[ A COUPLE HOURS LATER ]

I hadn't pegged you as the type to have this kind of mindset. I won't try to change you, but maybe something else might. A new experience or something else.

[ Because it sounds like he used to ~hold out for a hero~ but the hero never came. ]

I'm awake again. What happened? Why did you have trouble breathing?

[ Please reply, Eichi. Don't be dead. ]

[finethanks]

Sorry, is it shocking? I've always wished I could be something like a "main character," you see, like out of a story, but with the way the world works, that's not always possible. In order to get where I am today, I've done some horrible things, so I can't be called a hero or a main character at all.

I didn't mean to worry you with my health, either. I have weak lungs, you see, so sometimes even something as simple as dust in the air, or poorer air quality can upset them. I believe the recent pollen is still troubling me, even if the effects are no longer in place.

[schmisse]

I wouldn't say it's shocking! Just different. I won't say that I fully understand, and it's a little strange to ask for more detail through text. You're free to tell me stories about yourself when we meet in person.

Do you have an inhaler? Or medicine? The technology here isn't so bad, at least. Maybe the hospital can develop something that can help.

[finethanks]

Similarly, any time you'd like to ask in person, you're free to.

I do have both of those things, as well as access to an oxygen tank. However, the doctors and scientists were all quite confused by my condition. In fact, they began to sprout up ideas of testing they could do and seemed a little too eager for it. Considering my history, I didn't want to become too involved in that.

I'm used to there being no cure, so it's not as if it's any different.

[schmisse]

[ "I'm used to there being no cure"...

What a sad thing to say and Weiss' heart sinks a little. It's a little late at night and she feels down, now. ]

Well, if you're up again and you can't sleep, let me know. Maybe I'm awake then. I can keep you company.

[finethanks]

That's quite kind of you, Weiss-chan, but I wouldn't wish to bother you. I thought a message to the group chat would serve as a "whoever is awake can reply" sort of thing.

[schmisse]

I'll check on you when I can, then.

[finethanks]

If you'd like to, I certainly won't refuse it, but... I want to be strong just like any boy does, you know? I'd rather not receive any sort of pity.

[schmisse]

It's not pity.

[ She's trying to be caring??? Gosh. ]

If you don't want my concern, then I'll just pretend this never happened.

[finethanks]

[She's so cute.]

I didn't mean to reject your concern. Thank you for caring about me, Weiss-chan.

[schmisse]

Do you actually mean that?

[ The gratitude, she means. ]

[finethanks]

I do. I don't have a large number of people who care for me, you see. Even my parents see me only as an heir to the Tenshouin name and fortune, rather than a son that they love. It's something I'm gradually growing used to from others.

[schmisse]

[ Her response comes in a bit delayed, whether or not the chat has gone on without her. ]

@emperor You'll find that there are people here who can relate to that.

[finethanks]

Do you think so? But everyone seems to be getting along so well, here.

[schmisse]

Does that matter? You seem to be getting along with a lot of people.

[finethanks]

I suppose I can manage conversation with them, but there are a few who dislike me, as you can see... and even the ones who don't probably don't understand me. However, I am grateful for it all.
