Angel Beats! Reunited

Chapter 6
Bad News!

Back in the living world:

Doctor Kazehya walked into room 312 where a small, sickly girl waited for the good news that he did not have. Kazehya was speechless. He had done this too many times to count, but every time he was at a loss for words. How could he tell this sweet girl that she was dying again? How was he going to say that there was no hope as there had been last time?

"Good or bad?" the girl asked in a voice quieter and frailer than her usual quiet and frail voice.

"Bad I'm afraid."

The girl's face dropped.

"I'm so sorry Kanade-san, but the infection has spread to every possible organ it can, and at the rate it's progressing . . . well if we don't have another donor by tonight,"

"Thank you, sensei, for being honest."

"If there's anything you need, anything you want, just let me know." the doctor paused for a response before leaving the room without one.

"I ruined it." Kanade thought to herself once she was alone. "I . . . he . . . Yuzuru died and I was saved, and now even that doesn't matter. Because once again Yuzuru's heart will stop beating and I will die."

Kanade cried, saying his name over and over again before falling asleep that night. As she drifted off, her soul became confused and, once again, lost.
