[Megumi waited in her office, prepared to inform Xing-ke-san about what she suspected the condition to be and how to treat it. Tianzi-san was quickly becoming a friend of hers, and seeing her upset over Xing-ke-san's condition did make Megumi worry. Hopefully treatment would be established for Xing-ke-san as soon as possible, and he would soon recover from his illness.]
[Xing-ke entered the office with his own intentions and actions planned ahead. Regardless of what the doctor wanted, all he cared about was making sure the Tianzi was happy.]
[Megumi looked up upon his entrance, her clinical eye immediately noting his gaunt appearance. It was apparent to her that he was suffering from an illness, and she wanted to diagnose and to treat him once and for all, not just for his sake but for Tianzi-san's.]
[Nodding, she gave him a friendly smile.]
Ah, Xing-ke-san. I am Akechi Megumi. Please take a seat.
Well, first of all, I need to assess you. Ask you a few questions. We need to run diagnostic exams on you. A sputum test that will check for the specific bacteria, and an x-ray to see your lungs.
[Megumi took his chart and a pen, readying herself.]
We do not know for certain if there is no cure here. This place is not your home. Whence I came, medicine was very limited as well. But advancements in technology are different now, whether or not you came from the future.
[She gave him a stern look.]
I do not offer false hope. I offer that we try to find a diagnosis and a proper cure, rather than giving up.

What do you propose we do, then?

[This time, Megumi felt irritation creep into her veins.]
And you are telling me to lie? You are insulting my profession and my ethics, sir.
We can find a cure for you. I see no reason to simply allow the illness to take its course.
