[Haruhi's all cocooned in blankets like the majority of Sommunists seem to be right now, so at this point it really shouldn't be a very weird sight to be seeing yet another person all wrapped up and hazy-eyed and hoarse-voiced. but that's not the point.

she's a little less lineface-y than usual, and that's actually definable worry on her face. granted, the headaches and fever have made her a little bit more... emotionally weird than usual, but she's allowed concern when it comes to certain things—]

Ah, if someone's sick and won't wake up... [covering her mouth to cough before continuing] Does anyone know of a way to tell if it's a sleep coma or something worse?

Oh no...

Is it Tamaki?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[a nod]

I realise it could be nothing, but since he's so sick, I'm worried it might be more than that. And I have no way to know.

[Takuma thinks for a moment....]

I know that...for a human, their vitals even out and become a bit slower when they're sleeping. But they become irregular, slower, and weaker when they're sick...

I can't... think of a way to check... based on that.

[There's a worried look on his face.]

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

Nothing?

[she's doing her best to think calmly and realistically, but the pounding headache is really just not helping matters]

I don't want to let it go, just in case...

[bound-canary.livejournal.com]

There might be something...

[He shakes his head.]

But it might be best if a doctor looks into it.

You should check with one just in case.

And even then, constantly check his vital signs just in case they get far too weak to be good.

[pulling her blankets even more closely around herself]

Mm. I guess I'll call...

I've just never felt worried quite like this before.

[THIS SICKNESS. WHATEVER IT IS. IS THE WORST THING EVER.]

[bound-canary.livejournal.com]

This epidemic is really bad... I can understand why you're worried.

[He lets out a soft sigh.]

I've been filling in at the cafe for Tamaki, but if you need anything or if it seems his condition worsens, don't hesitate to call me, all right, Haruhi?

I'm worried about the both of you.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

...Don't overwork yourself, Takuma.


[leaving off the honorific without thinking about it]

[bound-canary.livejournal.com]

[He smiles softly.]

I'll do my best. It would be no good to worry you anymore, right?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

[shaking her head and managing a small smile]

No. So make sure you're all right. Because I care about you a lot, too.

[bound-canary.livejournal.com]

[Oh his heart.]

Thank you...

Take care of yourself as well. You're still sick, too.

I'll probably be by later to check up on all of you.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

It's hard to forget that.

[she can still be sarcastic with a sore throat, see.]

All right. I'll keep an eye on him for now and call a doctor. Hopefully someone will be able to come soon and know it's nothing.

[bound-canary.livejournal.com]

[There's a light chuckle.]

Good.

I'll see you later then, Haruhi. You can tell me what the doctor says then.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you.

[Alice rubs her eyes, trying to get awake.]

M-Miss Haruhi?

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

Alice...? [more coughing] How are you...

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

It still aches all over.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry... you must have caught it from me.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

It isn't your fault.

[ootorospring.livejournal.com]

There are enough people sick as it is—even Tamaki won't wake up now. Wintertime colds are common, but not to this extent or this severity. I don't know what to do...

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Rene... is in a sleep coma I-I think. [She hopes.] You need to rest.
