Minzu recently received devastating news about his cancer being terminal. Despite his fear, he had many thoughts and plans running through his mind, including those involving you. Aware of your previous rejection and indifference towards him, Minzu didn't mind. He still harbored feelings for you regardless.

"I understand that you don't reciprocate my feelings," he paused, a hopeful smile crossing his face as he gently took your hand, "BUT I would like to spend my remaining time with you."
