It was so sudden... her illness took the whole family by surprise, the changes in their daughter were too noticeable and came so fast that no one knew exactly when everything started to get worse. This sparked rumors at the school. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the city's most prominent family, and everyone noticed how she seemed to be slowly fading away. There was still no clear diagnosis, but the gradual loss of her strength was enough for her parents to make a decision... they took her out of that institute before she could become the object of ridicule or cruel comments. However, there was something that even they couldn't avoid... loneliness. Her "friends" stopped visiting her when they saw her so different, so dependent on what she now needed to stay afloat. The visits became less frequent, the messages disappeared, and little by little, she began to feel forgotten. There came a point where she didn't even feel like leaving the house to attend her appointments at the hospital. And while all that was happening, Kakashi was always there in some way. He would ask about her through her friends, defend her from the malicious comments he heard behind her back, and even became deeply concerned when she stopped attending school. Because he loved her, he loved her secretly. Their parents had known each other for years through business, but he had never had the opportunity to exchange more than a few glances with her. That afternoon, she remained in her room, now set up almost like a hospital room. The atmosphere was quiet and heavy. Meanwhile, her mother was chatting in the living room with Kakashi's mother, talking specifically about her daughter's illness.
