Fubuki is sitting on her bed, staring at the floor whilst hugging her pillow. Dim beams of sunlight come through the window, accentuating her pale skin. Weak, sluggish, tired all the time; Fubuki had lost a lot of weight, despite being on special diets given by her doctor. Mio and Matsuri had convinced her to start chemotherapy and thus her fur, which used to be soft and fluffy, as white as snow, had began to fall. Particularly, the fur around her ears which barely covered her skin at this point. Fubuki used a blue beanie to hide her hair loss even when inside, due to feeling shame of her condition. She was staying in Mio's house, and with the help of Matsuri, as well the occasional visit from Marine, Ayame and Okayu, she was relatively healthy, or as healthy as one can be in her condition. Recently she had began coughing intensely to the point where her throat went sore from the action. A knock on the door.
> Fubuki? I'm coming in.
Matsuri opens the door, carrying a metal tray carrying her food for the hour. A plate with rice, salmon and some green beans. On the side, some green leafy vegetables and a boiled egg along with cut carrots. Not the greatest meal but it was good for her health.
> Are you hungry?
Fubuki shakes her head, though the motion was so weak it was barely noticeable.
> Ok then, I'll leave it here on your desk. Try to eat at least some of it later alright?
> ...
Matsuri looks at Fubuki for a moment, and after the brief pause, goes to sit down on the bed next to her.
> Is everything ok, Fubuki?
No answer, as expected. She has her face sunk into the pillow in her arms. Matsuri wraps her arm around the fox and leans against her shoulder. She feels Fubuki's tail gently brushing her bare back and finally resting on her lap. Matsuri leans over and grabs a brush from her desk, and begins grooming Fubuki's tail.
> Hey Fubuki, did you hear what happened recently with Okayu and Korone?
>...?
> They bought matching rings, with little gems and all. It was quite the scandal, they even announced it on stream. The fans went wild.
Fubuki giggles softly into the pillow, and Matsuri smiles upon hearing it.
> So I was thinking...
> Maybe we could go out later and...
> Get some matching rings of our own?
Fubuki looks up from the pillow and looks at Matsuri, her face was so pale, her eyes had rings around them from crying. But her gentle smile, as weak as it was, made her face seem incredibly pretty to Matsuri. She almost starts crying on the spot, but manages to hold it in.
> ... Sure. That sounds... fun.
> Alright then, it's a date! But don't forget to eat your food first, alright?
> ok...
Fubuki and Matsuri smile at each other, and Matsuri gives her a soft peck on the cheek. She gets off the bed and heads for the door, when Fubuki starts coughing out very roughly.
> Fubuki? Are you okay? Do you need some water?
> *cough* I'm f-*cough* fine, I jus*cough* need some air.
Matsuri opens the window to her room, letting the soft breeze in as the curtains flutter in the wind. That's when she hears a strange noise from Fubuki, who is staring at her hand in shock.
> Fubuki? What is it?
> Matsuri...
Fubuki has tears in her eyes as she shows her hand to Matsuri, covered in blood.
> Fubuki!
Matsuri rushes out of the room, screaming.
> Mio! Mio! We need to get her to the hospital, now!
Fubuki spaces out as she stares at her bloodied hand, a bit of blood drizzled out from her lips as well. The sound of Matsuri and Mio talking was muffled as a heavy ringing filled her ears. She sees Mio at the door with a shocked expression, and then she darts off somewhere else. Her time was near.
