Spread the Light
Everyone could feel the change in the atmosphere inside the hospital. Everyone was smiling. The nurses, the children, the other doctors, the patients, even Mrs. Tsunade was smiling.
Mrs. Tsunade was infamous for her temper. Nothing made her happy except her gambling. But she was refrained from doing the one thing she loves because it was bad for her health.
Why was it bad for her health?
She always lost, that's why; which would inevitably lead her to a high blood pressure.
I observe the usually bitter old lady as she laughs uncontrollably, so full of joy. My eyes move to the person beside her, the object of the aged woman's hapiness.
Naruto.
Naruto soon became the talk of the hospital. Naru-chan—as they adoringly deemed him—is quite popular amongst the children; he's especially close to the fraternal twins: Moegi and Udon.
It's like Naruto had a virus, a virus that would make you happy. And everyone was infected just in a span of two months of his stay here, with me as the exception.
I ignore him, that's why.
No matter how much he tries to befriend me, I strictly keep our doctor-patient relationship. I do not talk to him unless it's very important.
Suddenly I notice Udon running towards me screaming, tears running down his plump face.
"It's Moegi! She's—"
Beeping sound echoes from the twin's hospital room.
The whole hospital becomes silent.
I almost forgot.
Moegi is dying today.
