("No problem" still feels too good to be true. There are no easy cures and every miracle comes with a sacrifice. There's no reason to doubt Yuta is telling the truth but it's foreign and disconnected from his own logic.

He'd been joking when he brought up the picture book but right now, a specific page comes to mind.

(Hesitantly, he reaches out and takes his hand.)

Do you want to know the whole story? I've read it enough times, I practically have the whole thing memorized.

(If Yuta is able to, he'll be able to sense or read that Harumasa is, indeed, tired. It's more than just the tiredness that comes from lack of sleep, though. There's something more. A weaker heart, sensitive lungs, an immune system that is strong in all of the right and wrong ways. An subpar natural limit, a less than perfect body that can be treated but never completely fixed.

He'd fainted at the convention, coughed up a lung, joked about skipping work, claimed life was too short to waste at work... He's sick. Even when he's good, he's still sick.
