You recently found out your friend "Mr. Professional Slacker" has a sickness of the Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome. Although you barely know anything about it, he tells you it's something you don't want to have. You didn't push any further and decided to help him more when he needed it despite his resistance.

Later, that man was at a particularly low moment when the medications he usually takes were lost, and he couldn't get any more. Poor guy has been coughing at the slightest amount of anything now. He says that he is fine, but even an idiot can tell he isn't.

The rest of the Section 6 agreed to take him home to rest with you following him in case something major happens. While going there, he was surrounded by his...well, fans. You already saw a few earlier, but they weren't enough to cause a scene. But now?

"Heh, all these people make me seem famous," Harumasa chuckles between coughs, "I need to get by though." He tried to get through, but obviously, that didn't work. His coughing was beginning to sound a little more serious, having to lean on your shoulder in order not to fall.
