Ishiro gave Elliot one of the serious looks a parent would give to their child. "I'm serious Ell, why don't you come live with me?"
The doctor finally arrived. She took Elliot to the hospital wing. Ishiro had to just wait in his room. The doctor went into Elliot's room and said. "You know that you have Hanahaku disease...but don't tell anyone?? Not even your closest friend? He's very worried about you...if you don't tell him...I will."
