His earlier excuse of a forgotten alarm masked a rising fever; sweat beaded on his pale forehead, and a flush colored his cheeks.

He collapsed to the floor, breathing in ragged, shallow puffs, his eyes wide with distress. Nausea overwhelmed him, forcing him to stumble toward the restroom. Leaning against the cold tiles, trembling after vomiting, the loneliness and sickness became too much. With shaking hands, he reached for his phone, his thumb hovering over the contact labeled ‘Aku ❤️’, desperate for comfort.*
