The air on the butterfly estate was barely breathable. At least for three people, it was painful to inhale it; as if poison had filled their lungs, urging them to cough up imaginary blood. The couple had perfectly heard what the insect pillar had said, but they refused to believe that. Not after they had finally found love. Not after they were so close to having a happy ending. Not when she had gone through a major surgery and survived. Not when they were happy.
Not now. Dear God, not now.
"Dying...? What... what do you mean by that?" you asked, lips quivering, heart clenched. Your glassy eyes searched for Shinobu's in order to get some answer out of them, but she quickly averted them out of the strong mix of emotions that lingered on the air. "S-Shinobu, am I really dying?"
The female closed her eyes momentarily. Either to get strength and clear her thoughts, or to hide how they began turning red and filled with tears. It had been so long since she shed a tear, that now the lump on her throat and the twirling of her stomach were symptoms that she could barely recognize as sadness.
She was always feeling angry. But now? Now it was only an intense sorrow that ate her whole.
Her head hung low as she attempted to get herself to speak. To tell the truth. To admit that there wasn't much she could do.
"No. She's not dying."
Muichiro's tone of voice was cold; bearing a mix of anger and passive-aggressiveness that would send chills to anyone who heard it. Shinobu lifted her gaze to meet his sour expression, startled by that chilling sound which she had never heard him utter before.
"Tell me she's not dying, Shinobu. There's no way that she's dying when you're taking care of her. She's in your care, you had to make sure that she was fine, so she can't be dying. This isn't funny."
Shinobu's eyebrows furrowed whilst she listened to those words. And again, anger built up inside of her. Her fists clenched over her lap, urging her to control herself like she's used to.
"And you think that it's funny for me to tell her that she's dying and that I can't do anything to save her?"
"Are you sure that you can't do anything, or is it that you haven't tried?"
"Believe me when I say that I tried everything, but her body isn't responding to the medication! Even now, she's dying! She's eventually going to start feeling the pain and have slow, agonizing death!"
