After the check up she left home and layed in bed, lifeless and weak. She lost interest in her hobbies, her studies and even lost appetite in her favorite dishes. A few days past and no word from her as she locked herself in her room with a note warning those left in the huge mansion to leave her alone. As back in school her dear childhood friends tried their best contacting her but she ignored all contact to the outside world.
Yoichi sensei was worried since there was no call to school about her absence and decided to pay her a visit. Upon arrival he was shocked by how huge the Watanabe estate was, he knew she was wealthy yet he was in disbelief to see how wealthy in person she was. Having a Butler personally park his car as a maid escort him in.
"Eimii-sama, your teacher is here to see you" as her maid knocked on her door. Eimii got up and opened the westernize wooden door and popped out her head, "Yoichi sensei, what brings you here? " she asked as she pulled the covers to her face hiding her red eyes. He couldn't bear to stand the pain she might've been feeling and pushed open the door, "Watanabe-chan, why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you giving up on life?" He yelled at her as he pulled off the covers that were over her face, playing tug-of-war with the covers.
"I don't know what happened and what's making you giving up in life but you're still young and you still have a lot more to offer. Seeing you like this is not the Watanabe Eimii I know!" As he spoke the truth, all Eimii could do was stare at him with the dark circles and redness in her eyes. First time having her teacher talk to her as an actual teacher, she looked him straight into his eyes, seeing how serious Yoichi sensei was she came back to her sense and threw her blanket onto the ground and ran into the bathroom to freshen up. Yoichi sensei shocked by how quick she was on the move, coming out from the bathroom as a new person giving Yoichi sensei a beautiful warm smile that made him blush a little as she ran to hug him saying her thank yous.
He stayed until Eimiis parents made their way back home from their business trip to discuss her health and absence. Yoichi sensei finding out her short life span caught him by surprise, how she must've felt and why she never came to school, he wondered to himself. "Oi, Watanabe-chan, I'm sorry about earlier. I was too harsh on you, and how I jumped to conclusion" he said as he stood out of her open bedroom door. "A wise men would've read the situation before acting but I have to say thank you to you for slapping me to my senses!" Eimii replied, bringing Yoichi sensei back to his place as a student, learning from his own student.
The next day Eimii appeared at school as if nothing happened, Kiyan and Haruhiko rushed up to Eimii hugging her and asking her questions. "Eimii, we tried contacting you but you never answered nor text and we tried figuring out where you lived!" Haruhiko complained with a deep sour expression sitting on his face. "I'm sorry, ever since I moved I never told you my address " she replied. As they were having their little reunion Toma, out of nowhere came up and put two hands on each of Eimiis shoulders as he stared her down, "Next time if this happens again, I'm coming after you!". Eimii blushed as she heated up and fainted from not being able to control her feelings. She was then brought to the nurse's office.
Eimii regain conscious and sat up on her bed, seeing that Toma slept beside her she figured he carried her. Making her have all these thoughts she had awaken him from his nap. "Eimii, ahh I'm glad you have recover" he said as he smiled. On the sight of her smile, he decided to head back to class. "T… Toma! " Eimii tugged onto the back of his uniform making him turn his head.
"Would it be fine to ask if Toma can stay until I fall asleep?", Toma at the sight of her hazel eyes that glowed like stars and her red cherry cheeks he blushed as his heart skipped a beat. "I would love to" he smile back. During that time, he questioned himself what just happened. Telling himself that he already had Futaba yet a little part of him couldn't get enough of Eimiis warm beautiful smile. He left after she was snoring, as he chuckled a little to himself seeing that she never really did change her sleeping habits all these years.
