Chapter II – In Times of Confusion
A passage of a week had gone by since he started on the practicum.
There's a particular directive In this hospital that every intern has to assist only one patient until their internship is over—sort of like a personal aid.
Looking over at the set of files on his grasp, Kyoya let out a poignant sigh.
The one he's designated to is rather a distinctive case.
Fujioka Haruhi.
An inpatient at the hospice, seventh floor ward.
Seventeen years old.
Hobbies are sewing, reading and gardening. The medical files said a lot more but Kyoya just skimmed it over seeing as he's already running late for Haruhi's morning checkup.
Opening the doors to her room, he was then greeted by a smile full of radiant serenity.
So blissful, content...yet sad altogether.
They exchange brief greetings as Kyoya started on his routine of checking the girl's temperature and other necessities' that he was pre-ordered to monitor.
She's a regular at the hospital for three years now.
No visitors.
No relatives.
Both parents died in an accident.
"Why?" He couldn't help but ask one morning. "Why can you still smile like that?"
The brunette just smile at his confusion.
"Because you don't."
"But you're so busy changing the world,
Just one smile can change all of mine" ― Jack Johnson
