Natsuki: "Wh-what happened? Is he okay?" Yuri: "He's been hospitalized... It's serious." Monika: "He collapsed at work, and they found out he had a rare heart condition that he had no idea about. They have to do surgery, and...there's a chance he might not make it." I felt the world around me spin as I struggled to process the news. MC, the person I loved with all of my heart, might not make it through surgery. Natsuki: "No. No. That can't be. We have to go see him. We have to be there for him." Sayori: "We can't, Natsuki. He's in critical condition. Only immediate family is allowed to see him." My heart sank even lower, hearing those words. Natsuki: "How long have they been keeping him in the hospital? I need to know the details." Yuri: "They found out about his condition yesterday, and today is the day of his surgery." Natsuki: "Then... I'm going to wait here until I hear more from someone." The three of them nodded, and I sat down on the nearest chair. My mind raced with all the what-if scenarios. What if MC doesn't make it? What if he wakes up, but he's a completely different person? What if he forgets about me? I knew I couldn't let these negative thoughts consume me, but it was difficult to push away the fear of the unknown. All I could do was hope and pray that MC would make it through surgery, and we could all be reunited once again.
