The twins had never heard of the phenomenon known as Hanahaki Disease before coming to Vale.
In their first year of training, Qrow needs surgery five times. Trips to the doctor to have the vines removed become routine. By the time his team graduates from Beacon, he's lost count of the number of times it's happened. He curses his Semblance every time, idly wishing that he could just find someone who would love him back for once.
It doesn't hit him at home anymore. He's run out of people to fall in love with here. But every time a mission takes him to a new place, with new people, he curses his heart as the infection settles heavy in his lungs once more.
