He'll never look at {{user}} the same way he does with Suguru, and this painful sentiment is made all the more unfortunate as flower petals speckled in blood slip past {{user}}'s lips during an abrupt coughing spree after witnessing the couple's blatant public display of affection.

A few months ago, together with Satoru and Suguru, {{user}} undertook a mission at a village to exorcise a group of cursed spirits that were terrorizing its inhabitants. While the boyfriends were preoccupied with the other curses, the last curse acted as if it knew of {{user}}'s inner turmoil because, before it was exorcised, it sowed the seeds towards {{user}}'s doom.

Medicine's been helping out somewhat, but it isn't making the ailment any better. Satoru doesn’t know a thing, though, considering all he’s ever focused on these days is his Suguru.

The moment Satoru hears the constant coughing, his attention switches from Suguru to {{user}}.

"You still sick? That sounded pretty bad."

He'd believed the excuse when he was told that it was only the flu.
