seventy-four.

I stared at Cassis, who came to me first.

At first, he had a determined face, but now he's dawdling again.

I don't know what he had to say, but he seemed very hesitant.

But it was the same for me.

I should ask him why he's not going to the capital.

I glanced at Cassis. Then, my eyes shifted to the injection marks on the back of his hand.

As the symptoms got worse day by day, he lived on increasing his injections.

I don't feel at ease when I saw the injection needle marks on his pretty hand.

I hated injections.

First of all, it was painful, and the medicine being sucked in made me feel haggard.

Caasis repeats the unpleasant tasks that even I, who has memories of my previous life, was reluctant to do, like a daily routine.

Like it doesn't hurt and it can't be hard.

Now that they have found a cure, I wouldn't have to worry that he might die anymore.

But why aren't you going? Stupid.

Somehow, I felt sad for Cassis, and looked at him grimly.

Then, my eyes met with Cassis's, and we spoke at the same time.

"S..."

"You know, Cassis."

Oh.

I shut my mouth quickly. It was because the timing was wrong and our words overlapped.

"Tell me first, Evelyn."

Cassis readily gave me the floor. I asked with a little hesitation.

"I heard you were asked to go to the capital."

"...Did Paul say that?"

At that moment, Cassis's face hardened coldly. I tried to explain quickly.

"Paul didn't say anything. Cliff thought I knew, so he said it by mistake."

Even with my excuse, Cassis still couldn't fix his expression. He seemed a little embarrassed.

You didn't want to tell me until the end.

I somehow did not like the stubborn behavior.

"Why doesn't a sick kid listen much? Don't you want to be healthy?”

So, unexpected sharp words took the lead. Naturally, Cassis's face wrinkled.

"Who doesn't want to be healthy?"

"Why is a person who wants to be healthy holding out like a maverick general? It's a nuisance to everyone around you, and it's not good for you either!"

When Cassis snapped, I also choked up and poured out harsh words.

Somehow, the atmosphere was heating up, contrary to what I intended.

I didn't mean to talk to you like this.

"You're saying I'm a nuisance?"

"That's not what I mean..."

"You don't even know who I'm doing this for...!"

Cassis sprang to his feet, trembling like a madman. His expression was full of anguish.

I also stood up and said.

"You're not a nuisance, Cassis. I'm just worried that something might go wrong..."
