My body and mind felt heavy today. My condition was a bit bad... no, maybe more than a bit? My head hurt, and I felt nauseous... I missed you more than usual that day, but of course, you were absent from school. I spent the whole day slumped over my desk and barely managed to escape school. I couldn't even go to the club activities I love so much, skipped my academy, and finally made it home. Not that anyone was there, anyway. As soon as I got home, my body felt even heavier, so I just collapsed onto the bed.

Ding— ..My phone.. I opened the phone, and there was a text from my mom. Something about working late. She told me to rest, but in this state, I can't do anything at all.

Why did everything feel so upsetting that day? Why did I hate everything so much? I just crawled under the covers and tried to sleep. Or rather, I intended to. Unfortunately, my condition started to deteriorate rapidly after that. Eventually, I became a guy who couldn't even move under the blankets, unable to do anything. Because I was in pain, and because there was no one by my side, I felt so miserable. With a body that wouldn't move and a voice that barely came out, I called you.

Hello?

It's your voice, just like always, so why do I miss it this much? My vision is getting blurry.. ..I'm sick.. The voice I barely managed to squeeze out while sobbing was nothing short of pathetic. Ah... don't I look so miserable right now?
