"What happened? How is he?" I asked the man in front of me. His face was solemn and full of sadness that I knew why. "Tenpou," I hold his hand, pulled him closer to me and embraced him. His body was trembling, held the cried. That was weird. This was the first time I saw Tenpou crying.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid he got that disease, Kenren," he said to me followed by the sobs. "That disease. no cured, no chance to live if he really got it, Kenren. I'm scared." No chance to live? "I'm scared he would get that forbidden disease. disease that could bring to death," he cried and hugged me tighter.

"Tenpou, what disease are you talking about?" I asked him as I pulled him away and glanced at his wet face.

"Disease. its called 'Death'," he replied. I surprised and couldn't believe what he said just now.

" 'Death'? Wasn't that disease carried by a bird long time ago??" I said in unbelievable. He nodded without looking at me. I was stunned. Couldn't move my hand or body. It seems that the word 'Death' had made me stiffened.

"That because I said I'm afraid Goku couldn't make it because that disease got no antidote since long time ago, no one survive that disease," he said to me and began to cry again. Hesitate and guilty, I hugged Tenpou again.

"Shh, don't worry. Goku would be fine," I said to soothe him. He nodded but still crying. "He would be fine as long as we by his side," I said again though I don't know if it would become reality. or the other around. It was then I realize Konzen's present. He was leaning against the wall, glancing at the air with his face calm. Yet I could see there was sad within it. He must have heard everything. Tenpou stopped crying and glanced at me. Then he looked behind and gasps. Of course, because seeing Konzen.

"Konzen?" Konzen looked at us.

"Are you sure there's no cure, Tenpou?" he asked Tenpou. Tenpou bowed and shook head. He gave out loud sighed and went back inside his room. "Don't blame yourself, Tenpou," he said before he went inside the room. I looked at Tenpou and notice he was crying again. Must be Konzen's words just now. He was right. Tenpou shouldn't blame himself. It was our entire fault anyway. Us.
