"Saturn Grace?"
"I don't have cancer, Jackson."
"I'm sorry. I blasted last night. I got carried away. Again, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay. I'm just here to finish off what I was trying to say yesterday."
"Go on."
"I have anemia."
"..."
"The thing is, I don't know which one. There's three types: iron-deficiency, pernicious, and sickle cell. But I am going various procedures to figure which one."
"Is it working? Are you feeling all better?"
"I don't even know. I was just diagnosed with it."
"I hope you heal soon, Michael."
"Thank you. Oh, I remember!"
"What?"
"Want to continue that meet up?"
"Of course!"
"Two days after this call, after your practice?"
"Sure. Meet me by the gym."
"I'll be watching you."
"Then it's completely settled?"
"No turning back."
"And, Saturn?"
"Yes?"
"I can't wait to see you."
"Oh, I believe we've already met."
"Hmmm."
"..."
"Are you stable enough to do so?"
"The doctor said that I can still go to school so why not?"
"Thank God! Anyway, talk to you later."
"Take care!"
"Do the same thing for me, okay?"
"Anything for my dearest Sensei."
