Pov Dr. Linzi

  ' Blood tests done, results will be in half an hour, perfectly in time to finish the rest of the tests.'

  I think while looking at Lappnd who is behind the gss prepared to take the X-ray.

  Linzi : " shoot"

  I say to the operator who nods and takes the pictures.

  Linzi : " Lappnd, photo is ready now get dressed and wait outside".

  I speak through the microphone when in the meahe image is dumped on the puter.

  Operator : "Doctor would you like to see this?"

  Asks the operator with in his voice. Looking at what he wants to show me I see that this could be the end.

  Linzi : "Tell the MRI room to have everything ready."

  I say after which I leave the b and lead Lappnd towards the examination however I 't get the x-Rey photo out of my head.

  A photo of Lappnd's skeleton shows bck spots on her boructure.

  Lappnd :" Something is wrong doctor?"

  Asks Lappnd as we stand outside the treatment room.

  Linzi : "I don't know yet."

  I Don't lie I have no idea what is happening to her. I just don't know I've never seen anything like this.

  Linzi : "Hand over all the metal things and lie on this special bed."

  I say to Lappnd who follows the instrus. After preparing the procedure, I go to the trol room where the MRI operator is waiting for me.

  Linzi :" Begin "

  I speak through the microphone so that Lappnd hear it too. After the procedure starts, I move o the operator to see the image on the puter.

  Operator :" holy grimm"

  I hear the operator's words but I don't have the strength to answer him.

  ' Kidneys, iines, stomach, both lungs and even the heart'.

  All over her body there are small spots, after cheg the side profile I see that they are adjat tans and muscles.

  Operator : "How she not feel it".

  Linzi : "Probably her nervous and immune systems are not reag to the ges."

  ' Which means that for her body it's a natural process and not fn objects.'

  ' A process of natural crystallization?'

  ' What is the cept, however, it is fitting in this case her nerve endings will also be subject to this process which will make them malfun '

  Operator : "Ma'am take a look at this."

  Hearing the operator I look again ahe image of Lappnd's brain.

  ' This is not good '.

  In her head I see small spots whi Lappnd's case is not safe. If these crystals act like a tumor it will cause mood ges in the already explosive Lappnd not to mention increase the iy of her mental illness .

  ' These two visible spots were formed subeously directly on the muscles however this does not hinder her movements? '

  ' What worries me is that it couldn't have formed for a year or two.'

  ' The st time I had a ce to examine Lappnd was when this act happe the protest.'

  Lappndnd was eleven years old at the time when there was an attempt to kidnap Bke at one of the peaceful protests. With Lappnd who awakened her sembe the time, that attempt failed. Bke was traumatized but nothing serious, but Lappnd was in critical dition when I examined her at the time, there was nothing in her body.

  ' No, there was a small abnormality in the blood but it was so small that if it wasn't for the best equipment I wouldn't have detected it.'

  ' At the time it was so small that it fit within the margin of errors.

  Linzi : " Escort Lappnd to my office."

  I say as I leave the b and move towards the blood b .

  ' I have to firm my guess '.

  I think while trying not to think about the current dition of Lappnd's body which will only lead to ohing....

  Being in front of the door of the boratory, thoughtfully I actally bump into the opening door from which the assistant es out with a hasty step.

  Assistant : "I'm sorry doctor I was in a hurry with the results of this wolf girl ".

  Linzi : " It's okay give it to me".

  I say snatg the sheets of paper from her hands.

  Assistant : "I've never seen anything like this, there is an unknown substan her blood, carried by the blood cells causes it to crystallize, the substaself apparently is the reason for the energy of the crystallized blood."

  ' This " crystallization " developed on the lungs or respiratory system inhibit the ability to breathe'

  'Developed iomach or liver disrupt the proces of proper intake and distribution of nutrients ultimately resulting in an failure, which is fatal'

  Assistant : " We hat blood with this substance should be self-infmmatory by the energy accumuted in it."

  ' Self-infmmation this cause internal burns ?! '

  I think while listening to the excited assistant however there is nothing joyful here.

  Linzi : " She is crystallizing alive".

  I say out loud and only now the assistant realized that we are talking about a living faunus. Looking at her I see that she is silent. So again already resigned I review the results.

  ' I see malnutrition however it is hard to say if it is caused by that.'

  'Substance density in blood 0.27 in one L.'

  ' 'From the photos, it appears that 13 % of the interior of her body is covered in these crystals '

  ' And all this over a period of seven years from the st time I check her?'

  I stand there not knowing what to do. I don't even have a clue what's wrong with her. Lappnd is dying I don't know how long it will take but she will die faster from this unknown disease than from old age. That nosebleed was caused by the crystal in her nose breaking but what if it's the crystal on her heart that breaks.

  ' Will she bleed to death?

  With this thought, I turn around and walk away I don't have the strength to talk to anyone about it. I slowly walk towards the office thinking about how I should tell her.

  ' First I will find out what caused it I have to be sure that there is no cure or w therapy for it, I am a doctor and it is my duty to cure her or relieve her from her pain'

  Standing in front of the door, I take a deep breath and go inside.

  Lappnd : " Am I healthy doctor?"

  Asks Lappnd sitting in a chair looking at her scroll as she keeps her feet on my desk. I don't have the strength to admonish her so I sit down in my seat.

  Linzi :" Lappnd haven't you ever felt something strah your body?"

  Lappnd :" Something strange? "

  Linzi : " Aches, burning, I'm not talking about now I mea few years."

  I'm talking specifically this time.

  Lappnd : " I don't remember so specifically, but I always had something ag but I spent most of my time on missions so I didn't have time to rest so my body sometimes hurt ".

  Lappnd says while my brain is w at full speed.

  ' Toxin, Poison she received during the mission? No that doesn't make sense, I need a thh study of her blood and this crystal.''

  Sighing I look at Lappnd.

  Linzi :" Lappnd I'll be ho with you you are dying and I have no idea what is happening to you."

  I say looking at Lappnd who seems to be sitting calmly however as a person who knows her well I see that she is in a momentary stupor caused by the shobsp;

  Aren't I afraid that Lappnd will go inte. No I'm not afraid of that and that's because Lappnd is able tnize what's going on around her even in a frenzy. It's just that other people who don't know about psychology are afraid of Lappnd or don't trust her, whifortunately Bke shows many times by making a nervous situatioween Lappnd worse.

  Lappnd :" Hahahahahahah

  ahAHaHahHAHAHAahahahahah

  ahaHAhahaHahAHAhAhahahahAhaha"

  The moment when Lappnd uood the meaning of my words is the moment whe a mental breakdown, and I don't bme her.

  Knowing Lappnd I don't leave her I sit silently and reach for her ched fist to gently touch her so Lappnd doesn't feel alone.

  After a few minutes, I see tears begin to fall from her eyes and her face turns red as she begins to ch her teeth in flustration. I finally notice that her hands are bleeding because her nails are digging into her palm but I skip it and wait for her to finally calm down. And after my momentary dey she finally calms down.

  Linzi : " Are you okay now?"

  I ask Lappnd who is wiping tears from her fabsp;

  Lappnd : "Yes in the end we're all going to die anyway so it's no big deal the question is just how much time I have left Doc? ".

  Asks Lappnd and her voice cks her typical goofy joy.

  Linzi " It depends, however, before I tell you this, I have to expin to you what is happening to you so that you uand what I'm saying to you"

  The I start telling her about the dition of her body about crystallization and the study of her blood.

  I then go on to the danger of the crystal rupture, I tell her that she could bleed to death or lose an an or aire limb due to the crystal's inability to naturally self-regee.

  I tell her that the crystal in her nose most likely cracked and fell out and by the fact that it was not deeply crystallized it allowed the wound in which it was located to heal .

  I then move on to the likelihood of spontaneous bustion of cristals.

  Lappnd :" So I have to stop smoking cigarettes? "

  Asks Lappnd surficially amused and rexed. However, throughout our versation she has not been distracted but she has been fog on what I am saying to her. And. Because of that I know that she realizes the seriousness of her situation .

  Linzi :" Self-ignition refers to the energy stored in your blood. It is eiough to cause self-ignition of cristal. So the fire won't make you explode . "

  Linzi : " However, you should heless stop smoking."

  I say to Lappnd knowing her uhy habits.

  Lappnd : "I uand Doc, I'm screwed so just tell me how much I have left".

  Hearing her I sigh knowing that despite her ess she is at her limit, whoever upsets her on her way home. May the holy grimn wele his soul into dead kingdom.
