[That actually does surprise Asch a little; he'd expected Ion to have told his housemates - they're the ones he calls family these days, after all - but he can understand the silence, as well. He'd have done the same, though maybe for different reasons than the Fon Master. He probably wants to protect them or something equally selfless.

He should probably encourage this- keeping silent is Ion's right, and it's no one else's business.

....]

...You should. They'll find out sooner or later, especially if you're at the point where you're collapsing.

I know I should.

[The answer comes almost immediately. As much as he wants to believe hiding the truth would allow them some peace of mind for awhile longer, he knows it would only make them worry more to see him getting worse and not know why. How would they be able to prepare for it? Rather than just wake up one day and notice his bed is empty...]

...I just don't know if I can. Not... yet, at least.

...Hm.

[It's not a particularly judgmental noise, merely an acknowledgement of Ion's words. He can hardly point fingers when he still hasn't told anyone about the state of his own body, and he has no idea how he'll deal with his condition when it starts to fully degrade again. Dist had given him two years, and that was quite a while ago.

With Ion, there's no telling how long he has, but it might not be very long if he's already starting to collapse.]

Can you get medicine for it? If I remember right, Tear was taking something to prolong her life.

There's a medication I can take, yes... but whatever it is they did to me is causing the level of miasma in my body to increase over time. As long as that continues, the medication won't be able to keep up.

[You'd think the Malnosso just wanted him to die with the way they designed this.]

[Why is he not surprised by the maliciousness of this?

Oh, right, because it's just par for the course in Luceti. Ugh.]

Did they tell you how long you have?

...I didn't ask. I didn't want to know.

[The hand holding onto Asch's shoulder tightens its grip.]

They told me they would look into potential treatments to try and find a cure, but... if it's already gotten this bad this quickly, I'm not sure I'll have the time to wait for one.

...Probably not.

[Anyone else might try to encourage him, give him some kind of hope for the future. Tell him not to give up. Or at least try to be nice about it.

Asch... can't do that. And by his words and the sound of Ion's voice, he doubts such sentiment would even be believed, anyway.

There's no point in false hope. All he can do is understand what it means to live with a death sentence.]
