"you have two minutes of oxygen left, zhongli" the doctor said, gripping their clipboard. zhongli's eyes wandered to his bony fingers, opening and closing them.
"....can we...can we change that into something more cheerful?" zhongli let his focus stay on the doctor, his eyes lightly sprinkled with hope
the doctor paused, but nodded.
"sure, zhongli."
zhongli hummed, closing his eyes.
"ajax...is ajax coming here soon?" the doctor didnt hesitate to answer this time.
"ajax will be here in two minutes."
"i hope he wont hurry. he stresses when he hurries, and that makes his brain a bit of a mess" zhongli says in a small tone, but the doctor heard it.
"does he hurry often?" the doctor asked, their voice dripped with sympathy, but zhongli pretends to not notice.
"yes. i do hope that he hurries less, especially in this time. there is no need to rush." zhongli fixed his position in the hospital bed, fluffing up his pillow and arranging the blanket on his body.
"hm..doctor, it seems i feel a little off...do you mind if i rest a bit?" not even waiting for the answer, he closed his eyes, letting out a sigh of content.
"i dont mind at all zhongli, rest well." zhongli hummed at that, and rest for eternity.
'until the next lifetime.' was his final thought.
