After being very close with someone for half of our lives, we're engaged now. Life's too short to put off something that important, after all. If Ukyou is watching me, I'm sure she'd approve - she was the last member of our little group in college, once we met her.
My clinic will be closed for at least a week. I'm going to Japan to take care of some personal matters and be with someone in the time she has left. If anyone needs to reach me, the clinic number is forwarded to my cell phone for the time being.
I proposed to her knowing that she would probably die of her illness before we could marry. But to hear that she's getting worse when, due to a recent incident, I cannot leave the city to visit her in Japan, is a cruel twist of fate.
If you hadn't drugged him, Kristoph, I could be there with her!
