"Thank you. Still sucks you're gonna die soon."

"I know. Probs shoulda stayed away from smoking. Probably would still be alive. You should get a life insurance plan once you become an adult. You'll never know when you're gonna die."

"Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind." Ashihiro looked at the pin as it glistened in the sunlight. 

Her mom came home with groceries and a cane sugar soda. "Did you tell them about your cancer?"

"Yeah, I did. Ashihiro took it just fine. Speaking of Ashihiro, he seems like a fine boyfriend for our daughter. Better than the other sorry guys she dated." He opened his soda and took a sip. "This is it, my last day on Earth."

The other 3 gathered around to watch him die. 

"You'll always be my hug bug, Adara. And Ashihiro?" he said in a raspy voice. "Treat my daughter like a princess..."

"Yes, sir. I'll do that." Tears were streaming down his and Adara's eyes. "I've only known you for 15 minutes, and I already enjoy speaking to you."

"I enjoy speaking to you too. The other boyfriends, I couldn't. This isn't goodbye... i-i-iit's see you later." He closed his eyes.

Adara yelled, "DAAAAADDY!!"
