Arima Kousei can't stop himself from moving uncontrollably. He doesn't even understand what was going on with him. What he only knows was that he was in so much pain. He kept on gasping air while his hands and feet kept on twitching while his bubbly saliva kept on getting out of his mouth. Tears fall on his eyes until he felt people hold him down on the bed. 

"Have you given him his anti-seizure medicine already?" asked Dr. Lee to Dr. Gareth.

Gareth was just done injecting it to him. "Yes. The medicine should work soon. How is he?"

Arima Kousei slowly stopped moving on his bed and his eyes drooped down. 

"He stopped moving already," Nurse Patricia told them. "He's already asleep."

"He was in so much pain and he still is," Dr. Lee informed them. "Shouldn't we give him medicines for his pain?"

"You can't give anything to him directly yet. Give him some along with Chemotherapy IVs. It should start already," he told her.

"Yes, sir," she said as she watches him go out.

...

A few minutes later, his two friends went inside to look out for him. They saw him sleeping deeply again after the medical staff helped him stop his seizures.

They left his room when Seto Hiroko came to clean Kousei's face. Of course, they were too worried about him.

...

An hour later, his father, Arima Takahiko went inside his room. He touched Kousei's face when he found him awake and whispered, "Son, are you alright now?"

Kousei held his father's hand. "I want to go back home."

Takahiko wasn't shocked that his son said it to him again. 

"You know you can't. You're still very sick."

"I hate what I'm feeling, father," he told him.

His father held him more after seeing him so pale, fragile, nauseous and uncomfortable. "Tell me what's wrong?"

"Bucket, dad," he told him.

Takahiko quickly gave it to him. He watched Kousei vomit acid. He also noticed that Kousei began being unable to eat anything. He told his doctors about it but what they only said was that it's a normal side effect. After he vomited, he laid down his bed feeling so dizzy after his father gave him water to hydrate him. His father took off his glasses afterward.

...

A month after Kousei was diagnosed with cancer, Tsubaki and Watari finally arrived in New York City. Both of them went straight to where Kousei is admitted. When they came around, Kousei's having medical testing on his brain again. They can't enter his room yet until the procedure is finished. After a while, they were met by Kousei's father. 

"Sir, is it really true that he has cancer?" Tsubaki asked.

Takahiko looked down. "It is true."

"Sir, what are they doing to my best friend inside?" asked Watari.

Catherine and Nathaniel came too with Kousei's mentor, Maestro Alessandro. The three of them just watched outside his room while Kousei's having medical testing. They were taking blood samples from him and most of all, they were checking the condition of his heart. A few minutes later, Doctor Gareth finished. He went outside and looked for Takahiko. Takahiko came around and joined him.

"Let's get inside. Only you, sir," Doctor Gareth said.

When they are finally inside, Dr. Gareth told him, "Sir, we would need to take some more tests again in the morning. Can you tell us anything he feels?"

"He's too fatigued, nauseous, dizzy and he seemed to forget a lot of things," he reported to him. "I was actually surprised when he asked me where his mother is but eventually after he slept, he went back to normal."

"Thank you, sir," he said.

...

Dr. Gareth took the blood sample in their laboratory and checked it quickly under a microscope. While he's looking at it, he learned that Kousei had too many white blood cells than red blood cells. 

"He's having very high blood pressure and it seems like he's having an infection, too."

"Then, you know what to do," Dr. Brown told him. "Stop the chemotherapy and give him medicines for his blood infection and high blood pressure."

He agreed. "Alright."

...

Dr. Gareth obeyed and ordered Dr. Lee to give him antibiotics for a while to fight off the infection that affected Kousei's blood. Dr. Lee followed and with a nurse, they gave Kousei everything he needed for a while to get better.

"Dad."

Unluckily, his father isn't inside his room at that time while his doctor and nurses give him medicine. Only Seto Hiroko came after him. "What's wrong?"

"Where is dad?" he asked her.

Seto quickly answered him, "He's just outside. He took some coffee."

Dr. Lee smiled and looked at Seto Hiroko. "Everything will be fine, ma'am."

She left them afterward.

"Seto-san," cried Kousei.

"What's wrong Kousei?" she asked him.

"It's been a month that I'm like this. Will I be able to get out of here, soon?" he cried. "I miss playing my piano. My real piano."

"Kousei, everything will be fine, soon. Just believe that you'll soon be okay," Seto Hiroko reminded him. "You're just tired. Go back to sleep."

Suddenly, he forced himself to stand up and walk. Of course, Seto Hiroko tried to stop him. 

"Where are you going, Kousei?" she asked him.

"I just want to get out of here!" cried Kousei. 

He still kept walking until he found himself feeling dizzy and fainted on Hiroko's arms. She pushed the emergency button immediately on the right side of his bed to call on his doctors. After that, his doctors arrived and carried Kousei back on his bed. That's when they found out that he had been feeling too fatigued. When he woke up on his bed before his doctors go, he asked them, "I'll die right? I'll die earlier than my mother. I don't want to die."

Dr. Lee answered him, "No. You won't die, Arima."

"But why does my body hurt so much?" cried Kousei.

Doctor Gareth went beside him. "You feel pain?"

"Yes," he told him. He took a pain reliever in his pocket and struck it on Kousei's IV line. After a while, he felt better. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. 

"What happened to him? He's not like that before. He's never stubborn. Now he is," Seto Hiroko asked Dr.  Gareth.

"The pressure of Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy might be getting into him. He would need to keep on sleeping and most of all, he tore himself up with his IV line. We already put back his IV into him and the needle of his blood bag," Dr. Gareth answered him. "We already did something to his wounds. Don't worry, he will be fine soon."

Seto Hiroko looked back at Kousei who's sleeping deeply. "I think he is depressed. Should we get a psychologist for him?"

"I can recommend a good psychologist who does help cancer patients adapt to their new life. I'll also tell Dr. Brown about this," he answered her.

...

The next day, Takahiko found himself arguing with his own son about his mental health. 

"I don't need anyone to talk to me! I don't need a psychologist!" Kousei shouted. "I can still think. I'm not depressed!"

"Son, you need a psychologist! You are depressed! Your cancer depresses you! Don't lie to yourself. I know you are depressed!" his father shouted.

"Yes! I'm sick! I am sick! I have cancer! I had always given you trouble in your life! Both you and mom! Mom gave me post-traumatic stress disorder! I was so young at that time and I don't understand what's happening with her! She manipulated me and you're nowhere when my life is like that!" screamed Kousei as his tears fall. "I don't need a psychologist to check me!"

Takahiko gave deep breaths. "You don't know what you're saying right now. You really need a psychologist. Maybe more than that!"

"Dad, I just want to leave the hospital!" he cried out. "It's been a month that I'm stuck in here!" 

"If we go home, there will be no doctor who can save you if you do get seizures again," Takahiko reminded him. I can't risk your life just to satisfy your desire to return to your piano. You need to learn to wait, son."

Kousei folded his legs and cried like a baby. He hates himself for having brain cancer. More so, he hates it that his father is right about him. Dr. Brown went to his room that afternoon to talk to his father again. He explained that they'll stick with chemotherapy first before they begin radiation therapy again. They had also already chosen the psychologist who would be assigned to help Kousei cope up with his disease. Takahiko understood and thanked him. 

... 

Tsubaki and Watari came to the hospital at night where they found Kousei taking two chemotherapy pills. Both of them went inside before Kousei lies down on his bed again. He was really surprised to see them. "Am I really seeing the both of you here?"

Tsubaki laughed and hugged her boyfriend, "I'm really here. Your dad helped us visit you."

"How are you, Kousei?" Watari smiled.

Kousei stared at his childhood friends. "I was feeling horrible this morning. My father also talked to me about getting a psychologist. I'm fine for now. I don't know later."

He looked at his father who had just entered his room again. He had brought his dinner. He went closer to the trio. "You look really cool to be together."

Takahiko organized the attached table on Kousei's bed and put it closer to him. He took the miso, rice, and fish on the table. Lastly, he took out the steel chopsticks. Kousei tried to hold it himself but his hands were shaking. 

"You know you can't eat by yourself now," his father said to him. "I'll give you what you need. Try and depend on me."

He looked at his two friends. He felt a bit ashamed but Tsubaki held his hand and smiled. "You're sick. That's understandable." He nodded and of course, he felt his spirit calm down after seeing that she is supporting him.

He did rely on his father as he eats his food. He drank the miso slowly. He finished and after a while, his father noticed that Kousei doesn't want to eat a lot of rice and fish as he already felt full. He hasn't even touched the fish that much yet and he only ate a piece of it. "Kousei, you need to eat more."

He didn't listen. He fell asleep on his bed and covered himself with a blanket. His father sighed and understood. He had just taken two chemotherapy pills at that time. He lied to the nurse again that he ate his food already. He cleaned Kousei's table and smiled. "Thank you for coming today even if my son's acting like this."

Both of them stared at Kousei. "How long will he be here, sir?"

"As long as he still feels horrible. The doctors won't release him yet but they also said to me that he'll soon be an outpatient soon," he replied to them.

"I hope he recovers, sir," Tsubaki said.

"I hope he stops thinking he can't be treated," he told them.
