CHAPTER 44 TOMO


(name) stood in front of kazuha's dorm, her brow furrowed with concern. venti had tasked her with checking on their friend, as he hadn't been responding to their messages and was absent from class earlier that day.

it was unlike him to miss class without prior notice, and (name) couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in her chest.

taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, she raised her hand and knocked on kazuha's door, echoing through the quiet hallway.

there was a moment of silence before the door swung open, revealing the boy standing on the other side, a surprised expression on his face.

his face was pale, and his eyes heavy with exhaustion. "hey, (name)," he croaked, his voice hoarse with illness. "what brings you here?"

concern etched across her features, (name) stepped forward, her voice soft with worry. "venti asked me to check on you," she explained, her voice laced with worry.

"you haven't been feeling well, have you?"

he offered her a weak smile, attempting to downplay his condition. "it's just a little cold, nothing serious." he assured her, though the strain in his voice betrayed his attempt to appear unaffected.

(name) wasn't convinced. "you shouldn't downplay it. you need to take care of yourself." she insisted, her worry evident in her tone.

feeling adamant about helping kazuha, (name) persisted in her offer to take care of him. she couldn't shake off the worry that gripped her heart, especially upon realizing that he lived alone in his dorm, with no roommate to look after him.

"kazuha, seriously, you shouldn't be alone when you're not feeling well," she urged, her voice filled with genuine concern.

"let me stay and take care of you. i can make some soup, fetch your medicine, and ensure you're getting the rest you need."

the white-headed boy hesitated, not wanting to burden her with his illness, but the sincerity in (name)'s eyes was undeniable. he could see that her offer stemmed from genuine care and concern for his well-being.

after a moment of contemplation, he relented, knowing that having her by his side would bring him comfort during his sickness.

"okay, (name), if you insist. but you don't have to go through all this trouble."

(name) smiled softly, grateful that he had accepted her offer. "it's no trouble at all. consider it repayment for all the times you've helped me." she replied.

with that settled, she stepped inside kazuha's dorm, ready to take on the role of caregiver for her sick friend. as (name) busied herself in his dorm, tending to his needs, she couldn't help but notice the subtle details of his living space.
