"I...I acted on a Deka's instinct...pain...is no strange emotion to this job...but...that doesn't make it any less of a burden. Maybe...that's a good thing though...not losing one's humanity." Jasmine said

"I...I understand," Hoji said, "I really do. The pain you saw...I'm...I'm ill and dying..." He didn't look at her when he said it slowly, though didn't show too much pain in his words.

"I see." Jasmine said, recovering her strength and putting one hand against the wall to steady herself, having an inkling that he was hiding something but not wanting to press him on it. "You...look good by the way."

"Thank you," he said, undoing the vest to put the jacket on, "I don't know what it is exactly. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that it can't be cured."

"That worries me." Jasmine said looking at him... "You know I can ask around in SPD...surely there's something we can find to cure it."

"I've seen the best doctors that SPD could get...off record, of course, so the higher ups wouldn't find out. There's nothing they can do for me," Hoji said, pulling the jacket on after taking the vest off.

"At least...but.." Jasmine replied, sighing a bit before cracking her neck slightly, a very unusual move, "Alright, at least we know that much of the situation."

He kept silent about Foundation X's cure.
"Now what? Do you still want to be involved with me, knowing it can't last for long?" he asked her, unsure of what to hope her answer would be.

"I'll treasure the time I get to have with you....and be an advocate of of this so-called lost cause that is a cure." Jasmine nods.

"What if there was a way to save me?" Hoji asked her, "Hypothetically?" He knew the answer was obvious, but wanted to see how she would answer.
