Episode 1 : Between Darkness and Light
Abygail's story
There is no statement that can't be denied.
The only one that I'll never be able to deny is my own illness. Because even if all we have learned always turned out false, there is a single thing that can't be changed. I'm named Abygail Valentine. I'm a princess in this new era of rebuilding. I'm seventeen years old and the doctors predict I won't live much longer because I'm weak and ill. I was born with an incurable illness. There is only a statement in this world that can't be accepted as false... I'm going to die soon.
I was young when doctors first realized something was wrong. Reports were talking about frequent problems of fever and weakness. Pages and pages of informations passed under my innocents eyes. Common Symptoms of Leukemia : Fever, frequent infections, easy shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, easy bleeding ... White blood cells, which are involved in fighting pathogens, may be suppressed or dysfunctional. It may also cause the patient's immune system to be unable to fight off a simple infection.
"...Princess... feeling sick, having fevers, chills."
Leukemia results from mutations in the DNA ...rare and aggressive... difficult to treat. Many different treatments have been attempted : pentostatin, fludarabine, cladribine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine...
"...failed all treatments... unknown reasons..."
No, I won't lose anything by leaving this world anyway. There's nothing to be worried about... I think.
