I reached the apartment and I asked for a spare key from the manager so that I could open the door to check on Chrome. Once I opened the door, I quickly went inside and I saw her lying on the couch with her pale face. Her condition worsened compared to the day she caught a cold.
"Chrome, are you alright??" I asked with worry and Kyoko was kneeling beside me to see her.
"...[Name], Kyoko...you're here..." Chrome spoke out weakly and gave a small smile.
"Your condition just got worse, I need to take you to see a doctor right now!"
"It's...no use...maybe this is...the end..."
"Chrome, don't say anything like that!" Kyoko nearly cried. "I'll try to call for help!"
I did not wait for anything and I went on to carry Chrome piggyback. She tried to resist but I did not let her go. Kyoko wanted to make sure that we were stable and leading us to the hospital. I could feel something hollow from Chrome's stomach and my heart did stop for a millisecond with dread.
She was losing her internal organs.
"Chrome, is there something wrong between you and Mukuro?"
"N...nothing...it's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's...hard to...say..."
"You reject his illusionary organs, right?"
"W...what? H-how-"
"He is finally free from prison. Which means he does not need to borrow your body as his vessel. Is that what you are thinking?"
"It's...it's not like that-"
"He has his own life and you have your own life. So you decided to take your path. But you hated the fact that you still need to depend on him. Moreover, some other people merely treated you like another Mukuro, not Chrome."
She was silent for a while and she was having breathing difficulty. I continued walking as fast as I could before it was too late to save her.
"What's your name?"
"H-huh?"
"Are you Rokudo Mukuro?
"... n-no. I...I'm..."
"Then, who are you?"
"...Chrome...Dokuro..."
"Then why are you taking such a long time to realize it?"
"R...realize?"
"Big brother is waiting for you. I hope you can find a true answer."
We reached the hospital in a nick of time as the nurses quickly placing Chrome on the bed. Kyoko and I followed until when we were not allowed to enter the emergency room.
