   Summary

   When Kaede graduated high school, she was diagnosed with something called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as juvenile ALS.
   Yet through it all, Shuichi watched her smile through the pain. Watched her as he wheeled her around, waving to her friends as feebly as she could manage. Watched her as her sister wheeled her across that college graduation stage, tears streaming down his face.

   Watched… as her hand

   so warm

   became colder,

   where did

   slipping away from his hold.

   it go?

    

   Kaede died on the morning of June 1st at twenty-one years old.
   ...
   And it all started a year after Kaede died.

   -----------

   Or: An AU where Kaede dies from a chronic illness, and when Shuichi is trying to pick up the pieces, a ghost begins haunting him.
