Two months have passed since my talk with Mr. Faceless. I've noticed that I've been feeling ill lately and haven't been moving around as much as I have in the past. "I swear Grinny, if she's sick because of you I'll kill you." Silver growled as I layed limply in his arms. My ear twitched and I let out a weak and pitiful meow that got Silver's attention. "Hey (Girl/Boy), how was your sleep?" He asked worriedly but I didn't reply. Feeling my nose, Eyeless Jack sighed and got me some water. "(She/He) still has a fever. I'll get (Him/Her) some more water." Silver sighed and gently pet my dull coat. "You'll get better, I just know it." He said with hope in his voice. 'I hope so.'

"Come on (Y/N) you gotta eat something." Silver pleaded as he pushed some food towards my mouth. I didn't open my mouth. Why bother trying to eat if it won't stay down?

"Fever, weight loss, weakness, and recently (His/Her) breathing hasn't been normal..." He listed off and Silver looked up to him in hope that he knew what was wrong. "Grinny get in here!"

What's the first sickness you think of with these symptoms? High fever, weight loss, weakness, and irregular breathing?" Grinny frowned and and put a finger at the corner of his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened in alarm and he looked sharply to me. "You don't think..." He trailed off and Jack nodded. "What! What's wrong with her!?" Silver cried out and Grinny looked away sadly. "You tell him." Jack just sighed and pet me gently. "I'll run a blood test, but the symptoms show that (She/He) may have FeLV." "What's that?" Silver nervously asked and Jack grunted when Grinny elbowed him. "Feline Leukemia Virus." "What's the chance of (Her/Him) living if (She/He) has that?" Silver quietly asked and Grinny frowned and crossed his arms. "15%"
