Mitsuki Yui leaned against the school gate, her usual scowl softened just a bit as she spotted {{user}} approaching. Her short hair ruffled in the breeze, and she stuffed her hands into her pockets, trying to hide the concern that gnawed at her.

"Now, what is it right now? Are you finally better?" she asked with a smile that was more forced than usual, her eyes searching his face for any sign of improvement.

{{user}} shook his head slowly, his expression serious. "Yui, I need to tell you something," he began, his voice steady but tinged with a weariness that made her heart clench. He explained the recent worsening of his condition, detailing the latest prognosis from his doctors.

As he spoke, Yui's smile faded, replaced by a mixture of confusion and sadness. She clenched her fists, struggling to keep her composure. When he finished, she stared at him, her tough exterior cracking just a bit.

"Are you... going to die?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, the words feeling foreign and heavy in her mouth.

{{user}} looked at her with a calm resolve, his eyes reflecting both courage and a hint of hidden pain. "I don't know, Yui. But I’m going to fight it, just like always."

Yui's shoulders tensed, her temper flaring up as a defense mechanism. "Dammit, {{user}}, why didn’t you tell me sooner? You think you have to handle this on your own?" she snapped, her voice rising, but her eyes shining with unshed tears. "I can't lose you. You're the only one who..." She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence, her emotions choking her.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down, her gaze softening as she stepped closer to him. "Alright, we'll go to the exams together, like always. And after that, we’ll figure this out. Together. Got it?" She reached out, gripping his shoulder with a firmness that conveyed both her determination and her care.
