Chapter 9
"Ugh, I feel so sick right now." Kassy mumbled, grabbing some water.
Pidge turned to Rora and Keith and mouthed "pregnant". Rora nodded in agreement and Keith shook his head in disapproval.
"What's up?" Shiro asked.
"I don't know, I just feel like I'm gonna throw up. I'm on my period, though, that can sometimes make me feel sick."
"Ah, understandable."
Keith laughed at Rora, who didn't like to be incorrect.
"I heard the last planet we went to had the stomach flu going around. Maybe you picked it up." Coran suggested.
"Yeah. Oh, well, I can cope." she paused. "Oh, nevermind, I'm gonna go throw up." she ran off.
"Keep her in a separate room. I don't want whatever she has." Lance said.
Coran nodded. "That's the best thing to do here! Keep everywhere sterile. We don't want to have this spread."

"Hey, why is Rora sobbing?" Keith asked Pidge.
"She remembered our dog exists."
"And...?"
"And she misses her."
"Right." Keith shook his head. "You know, as great as having a family sounds, I'm kind of glad I don't have anyone to be sad over."
"Don't be silly, you do have a family! And we're right here with you."
Keith paused, and for a moment, Pidge thought he was going to get mad. However, a tiny smile crossed his lips, and though wiped it away almost instantly, she knew it was there.
"Whatever." he muttered, wandering off.
At that point, Rora migrated into the closet to cry some more.
And that was their day.
At around 8pm, when Rora still hadn't calmed down, Keith went and knocked on the closet door. "Okay, Rora. That's enough crying for today. Come out of the closet."
"Keith!" she sobbed. "You already know I'm a lesbian!"
He sighed. "Yes, Rora. But it's time to exit the wardrobe and join real people again."
"Rora. I got your favourite song!" Pidge said.
Rora sniffled and came out of the closet. "Don't Try Suicide?"
"You know it."
She nodded, sniffling again. "Okay. I'll sing."
"That's my sister."
Keith watched as the two started singing about not committing suicide, partly confused, mostly concerned.
"What are they...?" Allura asked. Keith shook his head.
"You think I know?"
"Don't try suicide, nobody's worth it! Don't try suicide, nobody cares!"
"Is suicide the same thing for humans as it is for Alteans?" Coran asked. "As in, topping yourself?"
"Oh, yeah." Keith shook his head.
"That's great that you have a song dedicated to stopping suicide!" Coran said. "A bit... upbeat, given the topic matter, but even so."
"Sure, Coran."
They watched as they clapped along with the song and sang along.
"Humans confuse me." Allura mumbled, wandering off.
