Arima Kousei woke up on his bed feeling too tired. He still found himself inside his hospital room with all the machines and tubes connected to him. His tears fell down his eyes when he remembered Miyazono Kaori, his first love. He laid on his bed sideways. He held on a pillow and cried. He hated being sick and hooked up with too many machines.
Suddenly, he felt nauseous. He decided to stand up and go to the bathroom inside his room. As he gets up, he held on his IV stand and walked but his legs were shaking. He rolled his IV stand carefully but he wasn't able to reach the bathroom since his legs were aching so badly. He decided to take the bucket on his own under his bed and vomited there. His father had just entered his room when he found Kousei vomiting with a bucket on the floor.
There was no food again that he vomited. It was just acid. His father quickly went closer to him and told him, "You alright now?"
Kousei nodded. He let his father hold his shoulder. He sat on his bed and laid back down slowly on his bed after he had water. "I really think I need a psychologist, dad. I don't want to feel this way, anymore but I have to learn to accept it."
His father held him. He doesn't have anything to tell him. What he just needs is to be comforted.
...
For the past four months, Kousei's life circulated on taking his chemotherapy pills, radiation therapy and most of all, sleeping for too long inside his room. He had visitors for a few days until his doctors found out that his immune system dropped down again. He was isolated for a while to keep him safe from any germs and viruses.
Kousei had already begun feeling so unusually tired and irritated for being exposed to many chemicals and radiation. He lost his hair three months after he was admitted to the hospital, too. It was also the time when Tsubaki and Watari returned to Japan already.
Kousei doesn't want her to go as she helped him a lot to cope up with his disease but because they are both athletes and scholars in Japan, he knew he had no choice but to let them go. He can't let them suffer at the same time he's suffering. He's happy that his two closest friends had met each other when they chose to visit him in the US. His four friends were able to bond with each other for the months that his Japanese friends are in New York.
...
His father became really troubled when his son's mind had fogged a week after his closest friends left the hospital. He doesn't know what's happening around him which worried his father so much. Kousei's awake but he became unresponsive.
Arima Takahiko cried out to him while he stares at his son's empty eyes. "I know you're in too much pain right now. Son, you're very important to me."
Seto Hiroko was also there, praying that his child would respond to them again. She's definitely hurt too by what's happening to Kousei.
