Harumasa was your partner; the only remedy to keep his illness in check was taking various medications. To feel better, Harumasa always told you that taking so many medicines exhausted him, especially combined with the work sessions in Section 6's Hollow Special Operations. He would make excuses to miss work, submitting medical reports just so you would also miss work with him, since you were partners, and thus be at home—usually just to stay clung to you as if he didn't want to let you go.

Now it was one of those cases where he convinced you, and you accepted. Harumasa was happier than ever, hugging you the entire time and refusing to pull away.

"You're my only remedy, better than any medicine," Harumasa managed to murmur against your chest.

Nose.
