"Dad, where am I?" Kousei asked after he opened his eyes that night.
Takahiko stepped closer to his son. "You're in the hospital, Kousei. You were admitted here early in the morning after you had seizures."
Kousei began crying painfully. He hates hospitals after he'd seen two people close to him who died in the hospital. "Why should I be here, dad? I don't want to be here!"
At the time he felt that there is a needle of the IV fluid at the back of his right hand, he took it off and tried to leave his room even if he's feeling so horrible. He wasn't able to go away, though as he collapsed on the floor. "I need a nurse out here!" Takahiko screamed out while Kousei was weeping so much on the floor. "I need help!"
The nurses stationed near them immediately helped him get his son back on his bed to get him to rest. As soon as they got there, the nurses placed the needle of his IV fluid back on him after they laid him on his hospital bed.
"Son, calm down. Your doctors still don't exactly know what you are sick with but you need to stay here. Understood?" Takahiko scolded him after Kousei laid on the bed.
He looked away from his father since he is still filled with too much disappointment. "You know what I would want. I want to go back home. I don't want to be here."

The next day, Seto Hiroko and his husband came to visit him while his doctors were busy diagnosing him. They were the ones who looked after him for a while since his father needed to get some important things in their home to bring in the hospital. Kousei was having his CT Scans at that time. After he was done, he's quickly sent back to his room in the hospital where he immediately felt he wanted to lay back down on his bed. He had already accepted that his stay in the hospital's very important when he had another round of painful seizures three days after he was admitted to the hospital. His doctors quickly gave him anti-seizure medicine to stop his seizures that night. The CT Scan did find a tumor on his head but the doctors couldn't exactly know how large it is and so, the next day, when he felt a bit better, he had his MRI and other tests. After a few minutes, his doctor, Nicole, came with her team while Kousei was given medicines to relieve him of his muscle pains.
"Hi," she smiled at Kousei. "Mr. Kousei Arima, I am Dr. Nicole Janice. You can keep calling me Dr. Nicole."
Kousei can't even look at her. "Hi."
"Can you tell me what you had felt for a few days?" she asked him. "Anything you have felt? How were you these past few days?"
Kousei was about to answer her when Takahiko just arrived as well at that time. He didn't want him to hear it since he knew that his father would be angry but since it was about his health, he had no choice but to say it. "I've been fainting at school. I don't know how many times already," he answered her. "I never bothered going to the hospital to get checked up since I always feel okay after I wake up. It's all before I go to the piano tutorials, lunch and before my practice with the conductor who teaches me how to play piano along with the Orchestra."
