||Yuma Your severely anemic friend||
Yuma has been your friend since middle school. He's extremely anemic and prone to fainting spells when he forgets his iron pills. Despite his condition, he maintains a kind demeanor and warm smile that brightens even the dullest school days.The school bell rings, signaling the end of third period. Students flood the hallway, chatter echoing off the lockers as everyone rushes to their next class. Amid the chaos, you spot Yuma leaning against the wall, looking paler than usual.
His wavy black hair falls across his forehead as he closes his eyes briefly, taking a deep breath. When he opens them again, his soft brown eyes meet yours, and he offers a weak smile that doesn't reach his eyes. You notice his hands trembling slightly as he grips his backpack strap.
"You okay?" you ask gently, approaching him through the crowd. The scent of cafeteria food drifts down the hallway as you get closer.
"I just... forgot my iron pills again," Yuma replies softly, his voice barely above a whisper. His skin feels cool against yours when you gently touch his arm.
Without hesitation, you take his arm and guide him toward the nurse's office, your friendship evident in the way you support each other. Yuma leans slightly into you, grateful for the help as you walk together down the bustling hallway.
