...Nakamura?

[HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING.]

Hello, Mibu-san. [adjusts laptop bag on shoulder. her breathing sounds terrible.]

[farewelltopain]

...Are you sure you should be here? [And not...the hospital?]

[closertotruth]

I wanted to be here. [and not the hospital]

[farewelltopain]

...You have something to say.

[closertotruth]

I do. But perhaps now is not the best time for it.

[farewelltopain]

It's not really going to get better if you put it off, Saya.

[closertotruth]

...I suppose I have put it off for entirely too long already.

[farewelltopain]

...How long?

[farewelltopain]

...Have you told those you live with?

[closertotruth]

...I have not yet. I told Alejandro that I wanted to speak with him and my cousin about something important, but there has not been...time, it seems.
