[When the journal opens, there's a redhead who looks as if he wants to do nothing more than climb into a bed and sleep. A good explanation for that should show itself just as he opens his mouth to speak.]

Hey –

[Because he suddenly lurches forward and coughs harshly, though he tries ducking out of view of the camera. There's a slight sniffle before he leans in again, just after he wipes his mouth and nose with the back of his hand. His cheeks are slightly flushed, too, with signs of a fever.]

I'm back. Anyone know what day it is? [And he ducks his head again to cough, though not quite as hard as before. As for the question? Because he'd really like to know how close it is to that accursed Valentine's holiday.

... But now that he's got that journal open, he pauses, looks off with an expression of uncertainty towards the village and flexes his left hand, then squints slightly as he works on a filter. Ugh, it's hard to work with this stupid foggy ache in his head. Yet he knows that it'd be dangerous otherwise, especially with the topic of his questioning.]

[Filtered to Jade... and Dist//100%]

Could you take a look at me when I get back to the village? Something happened to me back there... [He does hate getting examined, especially for medical reasons. But this is extremely important.]

I'd be happy to take perform an examination when you arrive, if one has not been preformed already. Would you like to meet within a medical center, or would you prefer a more private location?

[Since to filter is also directed to Dist, Jade will have to prepare to meet with him, possibly at their location as well. He's certain this will ignite his curiosity, which was slightly irksome, but he can deal with that matter later.]

[Frankly, Luke trusts Jade a lot more than Dist, especially with something like this. But this is important, so getting two opinions from people who are considered geniuses in fomicry would be good for him.]

Dist told me to meet him at the Battle Dome's clinic... We can meet up there. I think there's some equipment you can use, too. Is that okay with you?

That's fine by me. I'll arrive shortly. You may take your time. I have the feeling you'll have a few pests to get rid of beforehand. [In other words, Dist is likely to jump you the moment you arrive. Jade will just have to be patient.]

Although I don't think I should have to remind you, I'll risk being redundant: Don't push yourself. I'd like you still in one piece when you arrive.

Mm... I know. Thanks, Jade. I'll come by soon.

[He coughs several times. It might take him a while to get there, but at least Jade isn't giving him a time limit like Dist is.]

[Just as he said, it doesn't take Jade long to arrive at the medical center, as with Dist, Jade has borrowed a few thick medical novels from the library for some 'light reading'. Unlike Dist, however, his were attained through legal means.

When he's finished reading through a few key sections, he amuses himself with flipping back and forth between the journal pages. He expected it to be a long wait.]

[By the time Luke finds Jade, he's pale. He doesn't seem to be paying attention, either, as it takes him a moment to realize that he's arrived and that Jade's in the room with him.]

Oh... Jade.

[Jade stands as he arrives, gesturing to Luke to take a seat. He was very pale, he barely seemed to register was he was.] Luke, take a seat. Please.

[Jade went one step closer, prepared to help Luke up should he fall. he looked as if he might collapse on him at any moment.] I take it you're still not feeling well...

Not... really, no.

[Luke does take a seat - more like falls into his seat as he stares down at the floor. He's silent for a moment, debating with himself; He asked Dist not to tell anyone, and even now, he's not sure if he wants Jade to know. Luke would rather shove what he just learned to the back of his head and never have to think about it again.

But Jade will probably find out either way. Still, Luke doesn't want to... He doesn't want to say it, he doesn't want to...!

He shuts his eyes tightly and grips his hands into his knees, then spits it out.]

Dist said I was going to die.

[That statement throws Jade into silence. He places his hands into his pockets and decides to study the floor for a moment before proceeding. Luke could use a moment. It was a hard thing to admit, and admittedly, it was hard for Jade to say that he wasn't necessarily surprised, although...] I see.

... What else did Dist say on the matter?

[Luke was able to calm somewhat thanks to that. He doesn't feel so much like a mess now, at least. He still has his eyes shut, though, and his hands are still gripped into his knees. If he lets them go, he knows that his hands will just start shaking or something.]

It was because I used such a large scale hyperresonance... The Malnosso made me do it. They filled this really big room I was in with miasma, and... [He coughs, harshly, unable to stop himself.] They told me they'd release it into the village if I didn't get rid of it.

He... He doesn't know how long I have left.
