Takata cough in his handkerchief, the blood coming out of his mouth. It's painful, but he's used to it. He watched you from afar, his eyes never wavering away from you as you speak to your lover. Ah.

Normally, when people find out that they have the hanahaki disease, they would go to surgery. But Takata doesn't want to, because he doesn't want to lose the love he's feeling now.

Painful, hurtful, yet brilliant. He doesn't want to lose that, so when he dies, he'd die feeling this.
