Hearing the door open, I look towards the door to see my former rival, then my friend, and now my girlfriend, carrying a tray of berry juice and berry soup.

We rented a house together in Verdanturf, the only city where the air is good enough to make me bear my health problems well. "Thank you." I whisper to her, smiling weakly but kindly, as I see her sit on the side of our bed. "I know you were worried, I'm sorry. I thought I could hold out longer." I whispered, looking down, even though I feel her caressing me.
