"What are you doing to me?" Hoshi yelped, noting the syringe North Star was pressing into her. "Just go back to bed. Hurry!" The cat panicked as she shoved pills into the other's mouth. "Oh no... It's too late!" Chaos ensued as jars and cups were knocked. North Star attempted to wake Hoshi up, to no avail.

"Hoshi? Are you feeling any better?" Her mother added even more trouble on the table as she pounded on the door. "Can I come in?"finally woke, as more jars clattered together. Hushing her before she could talk, the grey cat rose her voice in the best imitation of Hoshi she was able to perform. "We're doing just fine, m-mother!"

"Alright..." Her mother responded, in a confused tone. "Wait, we're? Hoshi Hane, open this door right now." They both stiffened. "U-uh..." Was all that was able to come out of them. Stuffing the cat under her bed, she answered the door. "Did you need anything..?" She stepped back once she noticed her mother's stern look. "Were you talking with Yuu instead of helping?"

Oh no. "I c-can explain... uhm..." The disapproving look she was responded with frightened her. "We're going to the doctor's to get this sorted out. It seems like you've been lying to me this whole time, and that's not right." Hoshi followed her mother on the way to the hospital. "If you've been lying about being ill, I'm going to need an explanation. After what seemed like hours, they finally arrived at the hospital.

They waited for a while, as they had made a last-minute appointment. The nurse had finally arrived and started to lead them to the appointment room. "So, you'd like to ask her a few questions about your daughter, right?" Hoshi's mother nodded. "She's been feeling ill, with symptoms of fatigue and headaches." The nurse jotted down the information. "Has she been taking her medication like she should? We've noted that you haven't ordered more pills lately." Hoshi grew surprised. "I'm supposed to be taking medicine?" The nurse glared at her mother. "I'll be taking that as a no. Mrs. Hane, you do know that keeping her from taking her medication can be fatal, right?" They arrived at the room. "I'll go talk to Ms. Lytch. We'll come back as soon as we are able to." 

"I'm supposed to be taking medicine, and I was never told?" Hoshi questioned her mother. 'U-uh, I can explain..." She shook her head. "That's what you said to me. Did Dad agree to this?" "Of course he did! He's the one who brought up the idea in the first place." She responded, trying to defend herself. "And what did they mean about me dying if I didn't take the medicine?"

"Um, is this a bad time to interrupt?" The doctor came in, likely overhearing the conversation. "We'd hate to disturb you, but we believe that the reason she's been feeling sick is that of her lack of medication. It's not fatal yet, but it's cutting it close."
