Chapter 121
[You try every possible way to cheer up Reina Nakajima, who is feeling down. The two of you sit in an empty park at night. Your closeness saddens Reina; she feels that someone like her, with little time left, doesn’t have the right to be loved.]
[You kiss her, expressing your love through the heat of your lips. She tells you about her illness, and your response revives her withered heart. However, fate plays a small joke on her—just as you confess your love, her heart condition acts up.]
[She’s not in serious danger.]
[With the help of Yuko Ibuki, who had been secretly watching you two for a while, you quickly get Reina back to the hospital. The attending doctor rushes in, checks her test results, administers medication, and instructs her to rest well.]
[It turns out that her condition flared up due to emotional stress overwhelming her heart.]
[The nurses help cover up your night outing. You stay in the hospital room and end up running into Yohei Nakajima and Honoka Nakajima, who have come after hearing the news.]
[Yohei looks at you and Yuko Ibuki, then at his daughter on the hospital bed. His daughter, who has always been so calm—so calm it sometimes worried him—how could she have gotten so emotional that it triggered her condition?]
[The night outside grows deeper, and Yohei proposes that on Friday night, two days from now, they talk together in the hospital room about what happened.]
[He says this only to put his daughter at ease. After leaving the hospital, he asks Yuko and Honoka to head home first, then takes you to an izakaya.]
