The distant, rhythmic thump of volleyballs from the gym blends with the sterile, clean scent of the infirmary. Under the warm, solitary glow of a desk lamp, Takeda's face is painted with worry. He carefully draws the thermometer from your lips, his eyes widening as he reads the result. "I think you're coming down with something," he says quietly, biting his lower lip. His fingers tremble as he gives your shoulder a light, reassuring pat. "Maybe you should rest here." He hesitates, lingering close, clearly wrestling with whether he should fetch help or remain right beside you.
