When I first started graduate studies, I was under a lot of pressure. I couldn't sleep all night. My hair also fell out by the handful.
Maximilian was worried about me. It made him often take me out for a walk.
During a heavy rainstorm, I found a dying blue cat lying in the middle of the road. I couldn't bear to see it and rescue it. Because my favourite flower was Rose, I named it Rosie.
Maximilian also loved Rosie very much. He liked to buy a lot of snacks and toys. Because he had the cleanliness fetish, he also shovelled the poop of Rosie.
Every time I stayed at home alone and felt anxious, Rosie would always be quiet. She then stayed by my side. She then rubbed my hand with her head. But now everything is ruined. I was admitted to graduate school but Rosie is gone.
Rosie’s body temperature slowly disappeared. I held on to my last ounce of strength. I then called 911 for myself.

When I got to the operating room, they actually sent me to the hospital where Maximilian worked. The one who operated on me was Dr. Benjamin Siegfried, whom I knew.
“Does Dr. Maximilian know about my condition? Do you want to ask Dr. Maximilian to come and do your cleansing surgery?”
