The phone immediately hangs up once you answer. But you don't think much of it, it was probably just your older brother calling to annoy you. Shiver comes back upstairs with the snacks and sets them on the bed. "Shiver, may I feel your forehead?" You ask. Shiver grows a disappointed look on her face. "I told you I'm fine." Shiver huffed. "Please...it'll make me less worried." You explain. "Ugh...fine." Shivet groans as she lets you touch her forehead. "Yup, you're burning up." You sigh. Shiver groans in pain as she rests her head on you. "Baby, why didn't you tell me? I could've gotten medicine for you." You say as you message Shiver's face. "I-I don't know...but this massage feels good." Shiver purs. "Of course it does. I was kinda forced to give messages when I was younger." You smile. You turn off the tv and pull the blankets up yo Shiver. "Hey! I want yo watch something!" Shiver says in anger. "Shivie, I'm not letting you watch a horror movie when you've already got a fever." You explain. "Hmm..." Shiver groans. "I'm gonna text your parents that you won't be coming home tonight." You sigh. "NO! Y-you can't!" Shiver panics as she jumps out of your bed. "Huh?" You question. "Tonight is the night Ryukosan chosses who to posses...if I'm not there she could release another spirit to be out and free!" Shiver shreeks as she runs downstairs. "At least let me drive you." You say. "No need. Oh Master Mega!!" Shiver calls. "Huh?" You ask, before you see a huge shark emerge from the ground. "Woah." You gasp. "Come on boy, we can't be late!" Shiver says as her and her shark launch into the sea. "I love that girl." You smile.
You knew for a fact though that Shiver wouldn't be feeling too hot when she came home. You needed to make your bedroom comfy for her...but how? You weren't really an expert when it came to Shiver's thoughts, but you did know what she liked. You did a tiny bit of shopping...okay...you did a ton of shopping. You needed to find the perfect things for Shiver. First, you put a soft shark patterned blanket on her side of the bed. Next, you put a few shark plushies you found on the blanket. Then, you set a humidifier on her mini night stand. Last, you prepared her dinner, which would be curry soup. Once you were done, you waited on your bed for your girlfriend. You put headphones in your ear, and decided to watch the news. But you weren't to thrilled to see that salmon run might make anotger appearance. Dealing with those tiny beasts really put a strain on your back. You continue to watch the news until you saw the your door open. And as you predicted, she looked awful. Her eyes were red, her skin was pale, she had bags under her eyes. You felt bad seeing her like this. "Baby...you okay?" You ask the octoling. Shiver shakes her head and slowly walks to her side of the bed. She doesn't even notice the stuff you bought, she just lays down and mumbles something in pain. "Sweetie, I'm so sorry." You say sadly. Shiver looks up at you with pitiful eyes. "C-can we cuddle...p-please? I know I'm sick...but I just really need to cuddle someone..." Shiver murmurs. You didn't like the thought of getting sick, but she looked so deaprate and vulnerable right now. "B-but you're sick..." You mumble. Shiver turns away from you and tries to sleep. She's not mad that you don't want to cuddle, she's just a little upset. You sigh as you wrap your arms around Shiver to pull her closer. "I-I thought you said..." Shiver began. "Don't push it, babe." You say sternly as you hug Shiver tight. Shiver cuddles you tightly and slowly begins to fall asleep.
She was out like a candle in about 2 minutes upon hearing the humidifier. You sigh and look down at your girlfriend, she looked so calm and at peace. Did your presence really mean that much to her? You knew you would get sick sooner or later, but you didn't care. As long as Shiver felt safe...you didn't care.

The next morning you woke up...by yourself? Where was Shiver? Before you could take a moment to think on it, you heard sneezing coming from down stairs. "Is she really out of bed again?" You groan, as you go down stairs to check on Shiver. You find her trying to cook, was she trying to get you sick to? "Babe, what are you doing?" You ask. Shiver jumps at ghe sound of your voice. "O-oh...uh...n-nothing." Shiver says as she puts the spices back in the cabnits. "Shiver, come here." You say sternly. Shiver slowly walks over to you. "What's going on. Why are you hiding your illness from me?" You ask the octoling. "I-I'm not." Shiver stutters. You let out a disappointed sigh. "A-are you mad?" Shiver asks worriedly. "No...but I am getting a bit agitated with you at the moment." You groan. "But...b-but I feel so useless when I'm not helping out." Shiver murmurs. "Shiver, you're not useless. You just need to rest. You're sick." You explain. "Okay..." Shiver sighs as she walls upstairs. "Ugh...that octoling males me mad sometimes." You groan as you begin cooking. But as you began...you hear some weird nosies from upstairs. Maybe Shiver was throwing up? You didn't know, so you decided to go check on her. "Baby, are you okay?" You ask as you enter your room. But what you see is horrifying. Shiver is on the floor shaking violently as she screams in terror. Her mouth is dripping out black ink amd her eyes are completely white. "S-Shiver...can you hear me?" You ask as you run up to your girlfriend. A seizure maybe? No...it couldn't be, not this violent. But then it hit you...Ryukosan had gotten to Shiver. Shiver was the holder of Ryukosan now...and she didn't tell you.
