Summary
“Sae…” she started softly. “I’m so sorry.”
Dabadie stopped moving entirely.
“But based on the test results, it’s been confirmed that you have leukemia.”
Leukemia.
The word sounded strangely distant. Like it belonged in someone else’s life instead of his.
“Oh.”
Diagnosed with leukemia at sixteen, Sae hides his worsening illness behind the cold facade expected of a rising football prodigy in Spain.
While isolation, harassment, and his illness slowly consume him, he struggles between pushing everyone away and finally allowing himself to be loved.

Summary
“…Are you mad at me?”
Ryuusei was silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head. “No,” he admitted quietly. “I’m hurt.”
“And it’s probably gonna take me a while to forgive you for hiding something this big from me.”
Guilt twisted painfully inside Sae’s chest. “I know,” he whispered. “I’m sorry.”
Ryuusei sighed quietly before reaching over and pulling Sae’s hand into his own. “But I’m still here,” he murmured. “And I’m still gonna take care of you through all of this.”
Sae finally reveals he's secretly had leukemia since he was sixteen. (basically what would happen if Sae lived instead of dying after Before the Morning Came)
