Eirito: ...Um...is it just me or Xenon is...a bit paler lately?
Kazuhiko: Ah yeah...he did start to look even more paler than usual. I wonder if he's sick...
Daiki: B-but...I thought he's alright now... especially when he don't have to worry or feeling stressed about something...
Eirito: That's true but...we never know what he's actually thinking...
Kazuhiko: ...Maybe he was worried about his illness? After all, Siro-san said it's incurable...
Daiki: That...is a possibility. He...could die at any moment if he's not careful...
Eirito: I'm...worried...
Kazuhiko: You're not the only one right now...
Daiki: All of us worried about him...
As they were talking, Xenon was there, listening to their conversation.
Xenon: *Mutter* ...They were worried... *Clutch his clothes in pain* ...But... it's happening a lot recently. I... wasn't worried or anything like that... *Hold his head* ...But...I have to endure it...
He slowly started to walk through the corridor, ignoring people's concern. Just then, he spotted Kayda patrolling the area.
Kayda: Oh Xenon, planning to go back home?
Xenon: Ah...y-yeah.
Kayda: ... What's wrong? You're...paler than a white blanket. Are you doing alright?
Xenon: *Nod* ... I'm fine. Don't worry...
Kayda: ...If..you say so. But...I will have to accompany you just to be safe.
Xenon protest many times but Kayda didn't plan to lose so he gave up and let her be.
Kayda: ... How's your condition Xenon?
Xenon: I...think I'm okay. I was feeling fine yet...people keep saying that I look pale...
Kayda: Everyone are worried about you. Even Prince Eirito.
Xenon: ...I know but-- *Suddenly clutch his chest in pain* ---!!?? (It's...not like I was worried or even feeling uneasy...! Yet..!!) *His eyes turned yellow*
Kayda: X-Xenon what's wrong!? *Hold his other hand* You're burning up...your fever broke out so suddenly...Xenon are you alright!?
Xenon: ......... *Slowly let go of his clothes* .........
Kayda: Your fever went down...what is this...?
Xenon: ...Devour. I'm...sure Dad told you about it.
Kayda: The one he says... it's incurable...? But...other than look pale as a ghost, you didn't show any signs of being sick...!
Xenon: .... Honestly, it...happens a lot lately. I wasn't worried or anything...it just...appeared all of the sudden...
Kayda: And you... didn't tell your family about this...?! You have to tell them...!
Xenon: ...I'll be okay. I just...need some rest.
Kayda: But...!
Xenon: I'll tell them tonight...right now I...want to rest.
