Work Text:
A bright wonderful day.
Tsukasa panted like a dog after practice backstage.
"You should take a drink of water, Tsukasa." Rui said, handing him a bottle of water.
Tsukasa drank half of it in basically a flash, wiping off the water that spilt onto his face shortly afterward.
*ding*
Hm? Tsukasa looked at the text message, and his eyes widened in horror.
It was the hospitals number.
Tsukasa didn't even read the text message, and he thought the worse.
No... it couldn't be...
"Hm? Tsukasa, are you okay?" Emu asked, seeing him in an obvious state of shock.
"Take me to the hospital." Tsukasa said.
"W-wait why what's happening-" Nene tried to ask, but got quickly interrupted.
"Just take me to the hospital!" Tsukasa raised his voice slightly louder.
"Fine, if that's what you want." Nene said.

Tsukasa read the message more clearly, and almost started breaking down even though they weren't even at the hospital yet.
"Tsukasa... don't tell me..." Emu started, seeing his eyes starting to water.
"No... this can't be happening right now..." Tsukasa said in denial, as they finally arrived at the hospital.

Tsukasa and the others rushed in, almost sprinting to Saki's room.
"Where is she!" Tsukasa burst open the door, taking the Nurse that was watching over Saki in surprise.
The nurse pulled the cover that was covering Saki's bed to the left, showing her in her frail condition.
"She's... not doing to good, her condition started to rapidly decline today." The nurse said.
Tsukasa said nothing, as he gently held Saki's hand, tears falling from his eyes.
Suddenly, another person burst the door open.
"SAKI!" Ichika yelled and rushed to her bed.
"We need you... we can't preform without you..." Ichika said quietly, on the verge of tears seeing her like this again.
The room was silent, expect for the occasional "beep", the rest sat looking over with sad expressions.
After what seemed like an hour, something happened.
"T-tsukasa...?" Saki said, she said it so quiet, only Tsukasa noticed her saying his name.
"S-Saki!" Tsukasa braced in rejoice, wiping away his tears with his hands, as the tissue box has almost out.
Saki looked around the room, she saw all her friends and her brother.
"Thank you... all.. for coming to see me..." Saki said subtly, she felt Ichika's hand touching her, why couldn't she feel it?
"Saki! Your okay now! L-lets go home now if your okay-" Tsukasa was abruptly interrupted.
"Y-yes... I feel so much better..." Saki said, she tried to move, but she couldn't... why?
Reality hit her.

It was time.
"Why aren't you getting up.." Ichika said with a concerned tone, letting out that gasp you make before you start to cry again.
"I... theres nothing you can do to stop "it." Saki said.
"W-what do you mean!" Tsukasa said, "Your well now! We're going home!"
"Tsukasa..." Emu got up from her chair, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I love you guys..." Saki said weakly.
"Saki... Saki!" Tsukasa squeezed her hand, but no movement came from the girl.
Nene looked over at Saki, she saw Saki's eyes not moving, her breathing was rare.
"Wake up... please Saki..." Tsukasa begged someone... anyone... for a miracle to happen as tears fell from his eyes once again.

Unfortunately...

That miracle never came.

Suddenly, the machine stopped from its beeping, and flatlined.
Everyone looked up to the machine, seeing the line going in a straight line.
Tsukasa looked up, he held up his walls for to long, and let it all out.
"S-saki... no... please Saki..." Tsukasa could barley talk without sniffling between every word.
While Tsukasa looked down defeated, Ichika was pressing the nurse to do something.
"W-What are you doing! She's dying! Are you just going to stand there like some clueless person?"
"Like I've already told you... we've already done everything we could before she ended in this condition..." The nurse began, but Ichika wasn't having it.
"What a shitty nurse you are, letting your patients die." Ichika proceed to storm out of the room, with her hands up to her eyes, wiping away her tears.
The nurse wrote down the time of death of Saki, and left the room.
After what seemed like an hour, Tsukasa finally regained his strength to stand up.
"Tsukasa..." Emu began, but Tsukasa just ran out of the room, out to the entrance of the Hospital.
"T-Tsukasa! Come back!"
~
Nene stared at his eyes, they seemed so lifeless, out of emotion.
Where was his bright sparkling eyes that used to be there?
Tsukasa stared out into the nothingness, Nene stared at his eyes once more.
Tsukasa's eyes had lost their light.

"What is the point of making shows anymore." Tsukasa thought to himself.
