Character Diary: Plague Doctor (Plague Doctor's Assistant) Entry #3 (Patreon)

Plague Doctor/ Ezekiel Thornton Journal:

"There are only a few people in this world that I admire. In fact, I could count them in one hand. Strange it may seem, but (y/n) is amongst them. No, I am not drunk—for the future me who might be reading this right now.

You see, we are living in a world of nightmares and death, yet I have this person who can crack frivolous jokes from time to time, bakes amazing apple pies, and somehow can still smile despite everything. How can those two polar opposites exist in the same timeline? The bitter death of this world and life. She/He is full of life. I admit that there are times that I may have doubted the soundness of his/her mind, but as I learned more about her/him, I could now confidently say that he/she is just entirely one of a kind.

(Y/N) showed extreme resilience, even stronger than some nurses and doctors I’ve met! I do not want to tell her/him, but I’m afraid that she/he fills me with strength to go through each day. Is (y/n) keeping me sane? Maybe. Do I regret letting her/him follow me that one horrible day? No. In fact, I do not want to imagine what could’ve happened to my life if I did not meet (y/n). Obviously, she/he helps me in many ways.

Again, I am not drunk.

But still, I shouldn't be distracted by these feelings. The sickness is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

One mistake, and it could be our end."
