Amber sits down at the dining room table as Feng brings her a cup that is slightly broken filled with tea

Amber: Thank you

Feng: Yeah...

They both stayed quiet in awkwardness for a few minutes until Amber finally speaks up

Amber: So... How have you been doing, man?

Feng: I've been doing fine... still trying to live my life

Amber: Yeah... Though how come you are in a... rundown place? I thought you were supposedly are gonna get the booze company

Feng: I turn it down... My Overburn is already stressing me enough and I don't want to get any more stress with the booze-making...

Amber: Oh so you-

Feng: Quit... So I've been living my last days before the time comes...

Amber: How long do you have left? A couple of more years?

He looked down at the corner of his eye beneath the table was the letter from the doctor before putting it away in his pocket

Feng: ... Yeah... I do...

Amber: ... I have to get this out but what happened to you, man?

Feng: I... A Fairytale came to my house a few days ago...

Amber: What?!

Feng: Don't worry, he didn't do anything, well kinda. We made a deal that I would test something and I can keep this thing he wanted to test and... *raise his flaming arms* this is the outcome of the deal

Amber: I can't believe you would do something crazy like that...

Feng: I know... but I promise you it's worth it...

Amber: How you made a deal with a criminal! You know nothing good comes from those man-children groups!

Feng: At least I took the risk to be something that can make me do anything!

Amber: *sigh* Feng...

Feng: Look, I promise you I have a good reason why I agreed

Amber: ...

Feng: But also thank you... for not only coming here to see me but not... forgetting about me...

Amber: Of course, I'm not a complete dick bag!

Feng: Could argue with that *chuckle*

Amber: hmph, So what exactly can you do with this... ability he gave you

Feng: I've kept myself quarantined for a few days to test it out and this is what I learn.

He takes a piece of paper beside him and put it over the flames on his arm

Feng: 1, My flame doesn't seem to burn anything unless I give off strong emotions like anger or sadness which will make my flames bigger and hotter. 2, The flames I was given from my deal might be another color spirit

Amber: Another color spirit?

Feng: Yeah... I realized after a while from getting this flame I... feel like a wave of anger towards myself... that usually never happens to me... so I concluded that the flames on me are a color spirit but became a physical thing and it's overcoming my original color spirit.

Amber: That might explain why your original color hair is slowly fading away...

Feng: ... Yeah and finally 3...

Amber: ... What?

Feng: I... believe this ability is slowly killing me...

Amber: ... What?
