In Perspective
by Morphaileffect

I know, you have to be somewhere. Conducting research for the team. But I have some things to say to you before you go.

So look at me.

Yagyuu tells me you've been spending too much time in the library, skipping class. And of all the places you'd had to stay in, it had to be the medical journals section.

Yagyuu tells me he's stayed with you so you won't get into trouble. Yagyuu's stayed with all of us at least once, so I know how it works.

I want you to stop putting Yagyuu in such delicate situations. Because you know as well as I do that he'll never stop staying with you.

They say there's no real cure for this. But whenever we meet, you come up with something, a bit of news you heard in passing or an article you clipped from some magazine.

"There's a good chance the cure will be found soon," you say in the softest of voices. "Maybe tomorrow, and everything's going to be fine," I still remember...

But you should stop. I don't want you to tell me things like that anymore. Is that understood?

Don't look away. I value everything you've done. I value everything you're doing.

But it's going to be okay. You have to keep your head on straight.

Have you seen yourself lately? You're getting thinner. I'll have to ask Sanada to take you out to dinner just to put some meat on your bones.

Sanada will watch out for you. You know that, right? You don't have to keep things to yourself. Even when I'm not around, he is.

You're important to him, too.

You say, "Akaya's been a handful since you left." But Akaya was a handful even when I was there. He's a child compared to rest of us, but I know you'll keep him safe.

Listen...

I know it upset you to hear that I'll still try to be there to play in the nationals. Even if it's not allowed. Even if it's going to hurt. But you know me better than the rest. You know I couldn't have said anything else.

I'm done. You can leave now if you like.

Just don't fall silent like that.

I like you laughing. You were so sad when I first saw you.

Tell me things. Things that aren't hopeful lies. I know you have something inside you that no doctor's ever written about in a journal. I know you'll be able to tell me something that would make more sense.

Tell me. Make it seem like everything's going to be better tomorrow.

Because it's going to be okay.
