Anna always had a weak heart. She got sick easily and she knew she was too skinny and frail, no matter how she tried to hide it.

And worst still, Yoh did, too.

At least, that’s what his face told her, as they sat in the hospital room together. Yoh clasped Anna’s hand in his and looked brave for her. She was thankful.

She knew this day would come, eventually. She was glad Yoh was with her’ he always made her feel better. He squeezed her hand and she squeezed back. A slight smile touched her lips when his entire face brightened at her response… and then darkened again.

“Anna…” Yoh started. She shook her head. She did not want to exchange words right now.

There was a pause.

“We’re ready for you now, miss.” A doctor came into the room and nodded to Anna. Yoh’s grip on her hand tightened, but Anna pulled her hand away.

“I’ll be fine.” She said before her body shook with racking coughs. Yoh jumped up with concern, but the coughs subsided. As they always did.

The last thing Anna saw before slipping off into a forced, dreamless sleep was Yoh’s anxious but courageous smile.
