I truly panicked when I saw him coughing up blood at the parent-child sports day.

I had noticed his complexion wasn't right before, but when he coughed up blood and ran away, I wanted to chase after him. However, Caelan held me back.

I was afraid Caelan would pursue criminal charges against Farrell, since he was the one who struck first.

In the end, I chose to accompany Caelan to the hospital.

Little did I know that would be the last time I'd see him.

By the time I had dealt with everything and returned home,

He had already left.

I found his diagnosis in the drawer.

I cried uncontrollably.

Why didn't he tell me?

During the time he was sick, I was by Caelan's side.

I'm the one who should be damned.
