Nana: This one almost made me cry while I was writing it. And it really made me realize the limits of 100 words. There's so much more I wanted to express with this, but I tried. Hope you all enjoy.

"Hatori."
I look up, toss the last of my bags into the car. Akito is weaving towards me, panting with the effort of the walk. I can't tell him to rest, he won't listen to me, so I wave him hello and keep packing.
"Hatori," he croaks, "half my life's over, I'm a middle-aged man and I'm sick. And I'm your God. So how can you bring yourself to leave me?"
"You're a child," I say, "and I'm going to school. So I can learn medicine and be worth something to you."
"You're my Zodiac. You're worth everything. Don't leave."
