Over the next couple of days, Senku had been getting better, although, relapsing a couple of times. You'd be shocked to see how fast a person can get addicted. Senku had been really proud of himself. He's become more social than ever, he's found more ways to cope with stress and anger and gotten closer with his boyfriend.

Senku, in need of a mind refresh, went on a walk back into the forest to find the same tree where he found the plant that used to be his paradise, now his vulnerability. While walking, he felt an weight on his chest, feeling his heartbeat accelerating with no apparent reason. He shook it off as simply a trigger of quiting.

??? 𝐏𝐎𝐕

I was adventuring through the forest to find my plant so i can return to my boss so he can make me more cigarrettes. Once I arrived, I remarked there seemed to be less than usual. No- there was definitely less than usual. Investigating, I saw a silhouette aproaching. A short green tipped hair man was revealed through the shadows of the trees. I slowly sat down by the tree, waiting for this man to arrive.

Senku was just about at the tree, when he saw a armor masked figure. Paying no mind to it, he sat down at the opposite end of the tree.

"You've been taking my plants, haven't you?"

"Hm? Ah yes, won't be happening anymore, quit that shit." Replied Senku.

"Oh really, a shame, I though I found myself a smoking buddy. One more wouldn't hurt~" The mysterious man said, holding out a cigarrette for Senku to take.

"No, like I said, I quit. I will no longer be touching a cigarrette. You should quit aswell, not the best thing for your lungs." Senku remarked.

The mysterious man just sighed and put the cigarrette back. Senku closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the tree. He could here there man shuffling around.

"Stan! Now!"

BANG! A loud noise echoed through the forest scaring away the wildlife.

"Hm..- Ah," Senku looked down, a crismon liquid flowing from his abdomen. He looked around, the pain not sinking in yet. Far in the trees he spotted the same man in the trees holding a unloaded rifle, with a bullet in hand. Senku's eyes widened in shock, as what truly happened finally got to his brain.

His breath hitched, he whined in pain when he turned around to see that same man still sitting in the same spot. Senku was still very confused but he couldn't be bothered in the moment to care. He stood up immediately and started his trek back to the Perceus, absolutely forgetting the sniper behind him in the trees. He was blinded by panic.

BANG! Another shot echoed. This time, Senku fell to his knees grasping his upper thigh and stomach to prevent more blood spilling out. Adrenaline pumped through his system, effectively preventing any illogical thinking. With that, Senku grabbed a couple of bottles and mixed them together. Once finished he  threw the bottle into the air and started running as fast has he could.

Smoke filled the air behind him, permitting him an escape route to prevent his retreval.

Once certain he was far enough away, he stopped abruptly and groaned in pain as he moved his palm up to see the extent of the damage. Blood, a crismon fluid covered his whole hand, abdomen and thigh. He gaged, unable to keep it in any longer. He fell to the ground vomiting everywhere. Once finished, he began coughing furiously, closing his eyes hard because of the pain.

Once he opened his eyes again, he had coughed up tons of blood. Senku decided there was no time to waste. He fought himself up off the ground and took one painstaking step after the other. His feet dragged in the ground, his hands covered in scrapes and blood and his head splitting. Black dots began to dance in his peripheral vision.

This was the hardest fight of his life, he was clinging to any hope remaining. He was walking slower and slower by the second, his time becoming more limited each drop of blood flowed out of his body.

"Why did I go on this walk. If I hadn't then I would have been perfectly fine. If only I had come more prepared for this moment. This had to be Xeno's doing, I know it. Ugh! This sucks ass!" Senku thought to himself.

His train of thought snapped when the Perceus came into view. It was quite early in the morning so no one was up on the deck, meaning more painstaking work on his end. With small steps he boarded the boat and headed below the boat. Walking through the wide halls, stopping in front of the first room he saw.

The black dots returned before he could take action and colided with the floor followed with a loud thud. He only wished that it would be enough to wake someone. With that he blacked out, maybe to never wake up again.

I awoke to the morning sun reflexting on my face through the window. I stood up, cracking my knuckles while walking to the chair with my clothes. I had just finished changing when a loud thud echoed from outside the door. Finguring it was just some morning chaos I opened the door slightly irritated.

The halls empty, the room quiet. I stood there confused for a long while. Once I decided to take a step forward, there was a strange liquid beneath my feet.

Tsukasa looked down, to his horror was one of his bestfriends collapsed, drenched in his own blood and sweat. He stood there frozen just looking at the situation. Another door swung open and revealed Ryusui.

"Yo Tsukasa, what're you staring at there... SENKU?!"

That caught the attention of all, almost in sync the doors bursted open to reveal the horror on each members' faces when they saw the state of Senku.
