I've been to to the clinic, but they weren't able to find anything wrong with me. Or rather, nothing they could diagnose or treat. It's possible someone else in the village may be able to help, but... I suppose I haven't been seeking that help as much as I know I should. It's easier not to worry about it if I keep thinking it might go away.
[And he does worry. And when he worries, he worries more, afraid that the added stress of his symptoms will only aggravate his condition more. On one hand, it would almost be a relief to learn that it was caused by something else. Though on the other hand, there's no telling whether what he has is capable of being cured. And that's not something he plans on sharing with Anise.]
[But that doesn't mean he can't confide in her a little more than he would otherwise. As much as he doesn't want to worry her, there is a part of him that's afraid about what this could mean for him.]
And if it is a reoccurence of what I experienced this summer, it's still possible the symptoms may go away after some time. But... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid that some of them could become permanent.
