Brothers, I Really Can't Hold On Anymore, I Can Only Take Leave

Last night, my fever hit 40°C. It felt like my brain had completely lost the ability to think—I'd been burned so badly I'd entirely forgotten what the plot even was. When I got up in the middle of the night, I just kept dry-heaving.

The scariest part was that despite the fever being so high, I wasn't sweating at all. Without ibuprofen, I probably would've been fevered straight into heatstroke. When I woke up this morning, the bed was soaked, and even the slightest movement left my whole body aching...

There's really no way around it, brothers. I can only take two or three days off and see how things go once I've mostly recovered...
