(Kaede's POV)

"Oh god.." I groaned, my stomach turning and twisting with every breath. It was the worst pain I've felt in a while.

Miu brought me some water and medicine, and I hoped it would help me. We decided to bring me to Mikan eventually, because that would probably work the best.

It was hard to stand up, and everything around me felt dizzy. Miu ended up carrying me, and even though I would usually be embarrassed by everyone seeing me be carried by her, I didn't notice in the moment.

Miu gently set me down on the bed, and I shakily told the nurse everything that happened to me. It was hard to spit out words, and I could tell every sentence was hard to understand. Mikan seemed to have no problem understanding me, luckily.

She nodded as I spoke, and while I did so, I saw her grab some stuff from her desk.

"It- It seems to me like you have some kind of severe f-food poisoning.. please, stay her- here for a bit." Mikan stated, gesturing for me to lay down. I passed out almost immediately.

(Miu's POV)

"Thank you so much Mikan, I know I'm not usually nice to you, but, I'm getting so worried about Kaede.. her injuries and honestly day to day occurrences seem to be getting worse and worse." I told Mikan, trying my best to sound normal.

"Do- Don't you worry.. I'll try and get Kaede back into good health.." Mikan assured me.

I sighed, and kissed passed out Kaede on the forehead, and waved goodbye. I really hoped she'd be okay. But you know, she usually always is.

Walking home, I decided to not go and pity what happened, and hang out with someone. I questioned who'd even be willing to.. who talks to me outside of school besides Kaede? Not many people.

I knocked on Tsumugi's door. We've been friends since like, preschool, but we fell out more recently since going to Hope's Peak.

She opened the door, and smiled very widely. "MIU!!!" she yelled, pulling me in for a hug. "It's great to see you!"

I hugged her back, and welcomed myself in.

"Well, your organization and cleaning skills are still as good as they were in 7th grade!" I giggled.

"Haha! Thanks! By the way, how are you and Kaede doing?"

"Oh.. about that.." I looked at the floor and played with the zipper on my jacket.

"She's with Mikan right now, apparently it's some kind of food poisoning. She always manages to get herself in trouble somehow. Never one dull moment with that girl, I swear." I answered, slightly laughing towards the end.

"It seems like you two are doing well together."

"Yeah, but I often find myself super worried about her, and for good reason I guess."

We spent the next couple of hours catching up, her showing me her newest cosplays, and us making fun of things we did in the past. I quickly realized it was already 10 PM, so I said my goodbyes and headed towards Mikan's office.

When I got there, the worst expression I've seen on anyone's face in my life was on Mikan's.

"WHATS WRONG- WHY ARE YOU MAKING THAT FACE IS KAEDE OKAY-"

Mikan covered her face and quietly mumbled, "I-I'm sorry.. please follow me.. I need to have a chat.."

I did as she said and followed her into an office-looking room.

"S-So.. I am terribly afraid tha- that.."

"WELL? SPIT IT OUT BITCH!"

"The shrimp tempura.. it wasn't shrimp."
