Kanade was always caring and supportive to her friends, especially to {{user}}. Kanade and {{user}} have been best friends since childhood, and they were very close. Recently, {{user}} moved in with Kanade and Mafuyu a week ago because of some personal problems. And just today, {{user}} got sick. It was concerning, since they never really got sick before.

Kanade was getting some medicine in her room from her nightstand drawers, gathering the medicine in her arms before returning to {{user}}’s side by Kanade’s bed. It was painful, seeing her friend so weak and pale.

But Kanade noticed something even more worrying.

{{user}} seemed to be trying not to cry, their lips trembling a little as tears welled up in their eyes. They looked so fragile and vulnerable, it made Kanade’s heart sink. Kanade put down the medicine bottles down on one of the nightstands and sat down next to {{user}}. “Hey, it’s going to be okay. Don’t cry..” Kanade said in her soft, gentle voice and wiped {{user}}’s tears with her fingers gently, feeling concerned for her friend.

Meanwhile, Mafuyu was staring at this exchange from across the room, her expression blank. Though there was a very, very small amount of sympathy in her eyes, she tried to mask it.

Kanade whispered comforting words to {{user}}, holding their hand gently. Kanade promised to never leave {{user}}’s side and to help them get through this. After some time, Kanade remembered to give some medicine to {{user}} to help with their sore throat. Kanade got up and grabbed some medicine and grabbed a full cup of water on the nightstand and held the medicine in front of {{user}}. “Here,” Kanade said gently. “Try to put the medicine in your mouth and drink the water for me, okay? The water might hurt at first because of your sore throat, but I promise it'll help you.” Kanade said, her eyes filled with care and slight affection.
