Now let's talk about Akatsuki's condition. When Mizuki was talking to Mary, Akatsuki went into a seizure. His heart stopped.
"What happened?"
"Doctor, his heart rate is dropping. He is convulsing."
"No good. Prepare the room. We have to start his heart. Prepare the defibrillator."
The doctor is rushing to him. Akatsuki is in a terrible condition. His seizure is constantly shutting his whole body down.
His convulsion is stopping. He is becoming still. Meaning his heart is almost stopped.
But thanks to them taking action on time, he somehow survived. His heart started again.
"What's his condition?"
"His outside isn't that damaged. But he is heavily bleeding internally. If not stopped, he will die of internal bleeding."
"We can't do anything. He isn't even conscious."
The doctors are having a hard time deciding what to do. Because Akatsuki isn't in a good condition. His heart and brain are heavily damaged. His stomach and lungs are ruptured.
The impact crushed his rib cage. His eyes and ears are internally damaged. His being alive alone is a miracle. But he won't survive much longer.
When Mizuki and Mary went to visit him, the doctor called them to his chamber.
"Are you his guardian?" (Doctor)
"Yes. I am." (Mary)
"I see. I have to tell you something." (Doctor)
"What is it? Is he alright?" (Mary)
"No. He had a seizure just a while ago. We somehow managed to save him. But his damage is extensive. We cannot cure him (Doctor)
"What do you mean?" (Mary)
"Yes. He might expire any moment now. He can't survive as he is now. Recovery is completely impossible." (Doctor)
This conversation was to inform them that Akatsuki won't last long. Mizuki and Mary, both of them became serious.
"Is he conscious?" (Mizuki)
"No. He is still in a comatose state. Even if he regains constantly, he can't see or hear very well. Normally, a case like this would die on spot. But he made it to the hospital and is alive even now. Think of this as a miracle." (Doctor)
"Thank you Doctor." (Mary)
Saying that Mary left. Mizuki followed her.
"Mary, wait…." Mary was pacing towards the exit. Her eyes were red. Mizuki ran after her. After leaving the hospital, Mary sat on a bench in the premises.
"Are you okay?" (Mizuki)
"….."
Mary didn't answer and she just hung her head down. Her tears can be seen falling. Mizuki sat beside her.
"Calm down…." That was all Mizuki could tell her.
Because Mary was crying. Not like crying crying but a silent cry. Silent tears were running her face. But Mizuki could do nothing. Because she herself had started crying.
"Let's go home."
Mary stood up and told Mizuki.
"Where?" (Mizuki)
"My home. I have to tell my parents about this." (Mary)
"Okay. I will go home and tell my parents."
Mizuki was thinking that they were going separately but that's not what Mary meant.
"No. You are coming with me." (Mary)
"Ehh…is that okay?" (Mizuki)
"I am telling you it's okay."
And so they went forward. To Mary's house.
On the other hand, the doctor who was in charge of Akatsuki had a visitor. A man in a black suit and black goggles came to meet him.
"Nice to meet you, Doctor. I am here to inquire about the patient named Akatsuki."
"Sorry but I cannot disclose the information of a patient to someone other than his guardian."
The doctor refused obviously but the man then put a portfolio in front of him.
"Take a look. This is what Akatsuki actually is."
The doctor took the portfolio and opened it. Inside it was a file named "Project Akatsuki".
The doctor took a good look and his face became stiff. Because the things written inside was unbelievable. It was confidential as well.
"You see, that subject named Akatsuki is the remnant of a now terminated project. His existence is a hindrance for us. So tell us. Is he going to live?"
The man in black asks again.
"The condition is worse than we imagined. He won't survive."
"That's good. That's all we had to know. Now we can rest easy. Because his existence was a sin. But now it will be rectified."
The man in black suit left after saying that. The doctor can't do anything but stare as he leaves. Because that man is a government officer who doesn't exist.
A secret organization of the government. If the doctor does anything, he will be eliminated.
When Mary reached her home with Mizuki, they decided to everything.
After disclosing the news, their faces became pale.
"So Akatsuki won't survive much longer."
Mary's father said in a grim tone. Because he wanted Akatsuki as his successor. Her mother is crying nonstop. Selena is just sitting because she had only known Akatsuki for a day. Mizuki is also serious.
"We can only wait for the inevitable."
Mary said, in a cold tone. Because, she is having the hardest time accepting it. But she has to keep herself calm or she will break down.
That day, no one talked much. After returning home, Mizuki informed her parents that as well.
And then, she closed herself in her room.
Because she is feeling guilty. She drifted away from Akatsuki. And he is leaving her without giving her a chance. The painful guilt is crushing her heart.
The next day, when Akatsuki regained consciousness, Mizuki and Mary were at school. So they weren't informed. Instead Mary's father went and visited Akatsuki.
After a little talk, Akatsuki fell asleep again.
After knowing that he had regained consciousness, Mary was furious.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you would have went to visit him ditching school."
Her father told her that. And that's what would have happened anyway.
But it didn't take long. On that day, Akatsuki passed away in his sleep.
