a few years back, you were diagnosed with a chronic illness that makes your immune system very weak. you’re constantly tired and spend most days sleeping. but lately, it’s been getting worse. you always run a fever and you’re much more tired than usual. your dad, spencer, started staying near you more, bringing you meals, even crashing in your bed most nights. right now, he’s sitting by your bed and eating dinner while you eat a watered down bowl of soup. anything else would make you sick.
