Day four and having a tongue piercing is still awesome, but the part where healing makes you sleepy is really annoying. The only thing making me get out of bed is that really sad face Akaya makes when I don't make him breakfast.

Ugh, and I still have a video to edit and dinner to cook... I don't wanna

[Edit:] Uuugh I forgot to take my pills, too. What am I supposed to do? Still take them? I'm only an hour late...

[Edit 2:] WAIT THIS IS ALL THE MEDICINE'S FAULT ISN'T IT. CHITOSE.

The thing is, so far, it seems to be an ordinary rhinovirus. A common cold, basically. Healthy people might catch it, feel unwell for a few days to a week, and be on the mend. If someone has a compromised immune system or a respiratory condition like, say, asthma, however, it will be harder for their body to fight it on its own. It's rare that someone gets ill enough to die from this kind of virus, particularly if they're healthy to start with.

And the dead guy had other issues?

From:

chitose_senri

Most likely. Though his medical records are...well. Calling them incomplete is an understatement. I've sent a request for the full copy of his records, but we might be better off doing an autopsy.

From:

mmmarui

Yeesh. Makes me feel better that dying was a him problem at least.

From:

chitose_senri

It's incredibly unlikely that anyone else will share his fate. I've been going over the medical records of everyone in base to check and see if anyone else managed to get here with such poor records, but so far everyone's are properly intact and through. And those patients who are doing worse than most are being very carefully monitored, just in case.

Good, I deserve a way more glamourous death than space-plague.

From:

chitose_senri

Everyone deserves better. And this should never have happened in the first place. Ugh I'm so angry.

From:

mmmarui

At the end of the day humans make mistakes, I guess.

From:

chitose_senri

They do, and I accept that. But I dunno. This feels more like negligence and this whole situation could have been prevented if someone had just done their job and...

I'm sorry. I need to take a moment and cool my head.

You know, Niou thinks you're secretly a violent psychopath. Thought you might think that was funny.

From:

chitose_senri

Niou thinks a lot of things, I'm sure. They're not all true.

...I have been known to have a bit of a violent streak, though.

From:

mmmarui

Trust me, I know.

You were a bad kid or something, right? You seem like you've chilled out since then.

From:

chitose_senri

Haha. Been on that end of it, hm?

Yeah. Got in a lot of fights as an adolescent. But I had some time to reflect on things and decided that wasn't the kind of person I wanted to be.

From:

mmmarui

He's asked me enough questions for me to know he doesn't really know shit about shit.

So you grew up, basically. See, Niou thinks that because you and Tachibana used to be like that that you're still like that, but just hiding it better now.

From:

chitose_senri

We all come from somewhere, I suppose.

I prefer to think of it as growing up, yes, but....I can't say he's entirely wrong. Under the right set of circumstances, I can't say I wouldn't start throwing punches. But honestly this whole situation is the closest I've been in a long time to feeling like I want to hit someone.

From:

mmmarui

So? Most people would do that if you push them enough. It's about whether you go through your other options first or not. Anyway, sounds like you could use some lavender lol

From:

chitose_senri

I took a little time and did some yoga, then meditated for a bit. I'm feeling calmer...but still considering certain options.

From:

mmmarui

You mean punching?

From:

chitose_senri

I mean getting someone fired.

From:

mmmarui

I guess that's almost as satisfying.

From:

chitose_senri

It will be for me, if I can manage it. Even the fastest communications take time, from out here, and then waiting for responses... But I'm going to try.

From:

mmmarui

I'm sure the guy's family will appreciate it.

From:

chitose_senri

Oh, I really hope you’re being sarcastic.

From:

mmmarui

Wait, are we team sick guy or team anti-infectious diseases?

From:

chitose_senri

...oh wait. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahah. I'm tired. I thought you were saying the family of the guy I was tying to get fired would appreciate it.

My misunderstanding. Yes, I imagine the family of our dear departed will appreciate it. Although depending on how complacent he was in things like, oh, bypassing quarantine......they may or may not like everything I find out.
