07 × Why Now?

‐–— TW : vomiting, mentions of violence, gore

I stayed home, still sick, hoping for another call to come forth. 

It never did. 

At least, not for the time I stayed awake. I dreaded to go to sleep. I was too worried about Tsukasa. About whether he’d be okay or not. My thoughts were only about him and what had happened. I didn’t know what caused it either. That was my biggest concern. 

A thought that scared me most was whether the seizure was caused by epilepsy or not. If he were to be diagnosed with that, he more than likely wouldn’t be allowed to perform shows at Phoenix Wonderland anymore. I mean, most of our shows consist of flashing lights and things of that nature. And as far as I know, that’s a common trigger. 

I also felt some doubt for that scary thought. We have used plenty of things in our shows that could cause an epileptic seizure. Of course, there are always warnings about it too. 

Yet, I was still frightened. 

Tsukasa meant a lot to me and the others. Without him by our side on stage, I was certain that we would no longer shine like we did. He was usually our lead. The one to have the spotlight on him. 

Without him, nobody would be there to fill that spot. 

I only wished that it was from over working himself, or maybe he just went into one randomly. Which, that was more commonly the case. If it was that, I could be relieved. It only made me wonder more about what Nene and Emu are feeling about this situation. 

“He’ll be okay. Just relax..” I told myself, huffing a breath of air. 

Just then, my phone rang. I could only hope it was either Saki or Tsukasa himself. But it was neither of them. It was Toya. 

Toya was the one person Tsukasa so preciously considered a brother. He thought of Toya as a younger brother. The feeling was mutual too. Toya thought of Tsukasa as an older brother. 

I sigh, taking my phone in my hands and answering. I put it up to my ear. “Hello?” 

Another thing about Toya, he was a villain, much like myself. He was who many considered ‘a kind individual with ill intentions’. He was kind and respectful, but he still followed the ideal life of a villain. 

He was Okami. One with the ability to create ice as well as water. It was a great ability to have. Yet, Toya hated using it. As of recent, both him and Aether, who was Akito, a first year, much like Toya at my school, had argued. Not in a vocal way either. 

“Hi, uhm.” his voice sounded strained. “Have you gotten an update about Tsukasa yet? I’m just a bit worried.” He asked. 

I frown. I wished the same as he had. I wished to know what was going on, but I couldn’t as I was given very little information. “No, I haven’t. And trust me, I’m worried too.” I tell him, hoping to add a little bit of reassurance to his panic.
