Angst up ahead

Tears rolled down your cheeks as you clutched your shirt desperately gasping for air. Lately your condition is getting worse since you overwork yourself again.
The effects were slowly getting more worse as the days go by, the coughing, the tiredness and the dark scales now visible in your right arm. Your body couldn't handle the effects of the illness as you coughed violently for the fifth time this afternoon.
You covered your mouth to prevent the blood from spilling everywhere, as you finished coughing you took a tissue and wiped your hand and chin. You were tired and you just wanted to rest but the akademiya has given more projects to the scholar's thesd days.
And the fact both the scribe and general mahamatra are both gone, and you couldn't help but notice that the grand sage and others were hiding the fact from everyone.
You were worried for both your friends, cyno and alhaitham but mostly alhaitham since you two were closer. But nonetheless you continued doing the things that was needed to be done.
You sat quietly on the chair as you continued to write your letter to the akademiya to excuse yourself for a few days since you weren't feeling well, as you finished the letter as you gave it to the bird that you were taking care of right now.
Which was alhaitham's pet bird, since he left it unattended you had to take care of it. You handed the letter and it took it from your hand and flew away almost immediately after it got the letter. You forgot alhaitham trained the bird.
You then sat back down but this time you sat on your bed, you looked down on your lap thinking what will happen to you. You don't know of you will be even cured since there was still no antidote and you also don't know how long you'll live.
And the fact you live alone doesn't help, but you promised alhaitham that you two would graduate together, and you just can't break a promise that you made with someone special to you.
You decided to question yourself, why? Why are you still holding on to the promise that you both made? You weren't even sure if he still remembers it since you both were little kids who were planning to join the akademiya if you both were accepted.
Your eyes slowly started to feel heavy and you stood up and changed into your night clothes (pajamas, nightgown and whichever you prefer) and after that you went to the bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your face and you called it a day.
–With alhaitham–
It has been a few days since he left both the city and akademiya to stay in aaru village to plan the fall of the akademiya's false god.
But he has other thoughts in his head, and that thought is you. He wonders if you are doing well, and how your condition is and such.
He can't send you letters on where his whereabouts are since, he doesn't have anyone or anything to send it to you. His worried that you would push yourself beyond the limit to do something stupid.
