Picking up Yuki, who was now shivering, into my arms, I slowly exited the bathroom, trying not to hit the door frame with this massive Oni in my arms, before walking towards her room and awkwardly opening the door with my butt, only to instantly sport an ugly expression as I looked at the poop, diarrhea, pee, and vomit covered bed, which was creating an intense smell that seems to be marinating.
'Ugh, god dammit, I forget about this; haa, I still need to clean this up.' Thought Tut with a disgusted expression as he looked at the room before backing away and using his foot to close the door, attempting to contain the marinating smell.
Since I couldn't use Yuki's room, for obvious reasons, I headed downstairs to the couch since it was the only thing in the house big enough to support Yuki's large body; however, when I got downstairs, I saw a large puddle of vomit a few feet in front of the entrance to the house, causing me to sigh, before I tip-toed around the vomit and approached the living room. Gently setting Yuki on the couch, I squatted down and placed my hand atop her head and abdomen, only to frown deeply when I felt how cold she was; she was freezing.
"A-Alex, I-I'm c-cold." Muttered Yuki weakly as she curled into a ball while shivering, trying to warm herself.
"Alright, I'll be right back, okay? I'm going to get some clothes and blankets from your room." Said Alexander softly as he gently rubbed her arms before quickly turning around and heading upstairs, making sure to avoid the puddle of vomit.
Approaching Yuki's room, I grabbed the handle and took a deep breath before entering inside and closing the door behind me; while holding my breath, I swiftly looked through her wardrobe, grabbing several clothes, along with all the clean blankets I could find, before exiting the room and closing the door behind me.
"Ugh, I feel like I need to take a shower again." Muttered Alexander in disgust as he subconsciously shivered while walking down the stairs and approaching Yuki, who was on the couch in the living room.
Tossing the blankets and clothes onto the ground, I first put on Yuki's underwear since, unlike me, she didn't have a mother or master who taught them to go commando all the time; only when Yuki's in the house does she not wear underwear. Yanking her panties over her large, firm butt, I grabbed a bra and placed it over her massive breasts that put even watermelons to shame; practically squeezing her breasts within the bra, I latched the hooks together behind her back before rolling her onto her back and grabbing some actual clothes.
Putting on shorts and a normal shirt, I then put a pair of thicker pants on Yuki before making her wear a sweater, followed by throwing three blankets over her body and wrapping her into a meaty burrito with just her head sticking out.
"Haa, finally, that took longer than I'd have hoped. So, how do you feel now, Yuki? Better?" Asked Alexander as he dusted off his hands and looked at Yuki, only to frown when he got no response.
Stepping closer, I looked down at her face, only to softly smile when I saw her peacefully sleeping, causing me to sigh in relief before collapsing onto a chair beside her.
"Haa, today has been one hell of an exhausting day." Muttered Alexander with a sigh as he rubbed his face in exhaustion, only for his eyes to glow softly as he turned and looked at Yuki.
I didn't want to do what I was about to do, as I could lose Yuki's trust since I'd be invading her privacy, but at the same time, I wasn't going to stay ignorant of what was wrong with her, not like what I did with Master. Even though I knew there was something wrong with Master a few weeks before she died, I foolishly stayed ignorant; not like those weeks would've made a difference, but it's the principle of the matter.
"Haa, I'm really sorry for what I'm about to do, Yuki. I'll tell you about it when you wake up; I just… I just can't have another person I care about die." Declared Alexander softly as he knelt down before Yuki, only to use [Heroes Gaze], inspecting her status panel, causing her to twitch, but she remained asleep.

Reading Yuki's status panel, I was quite surprised by what I saw, and I had numerous questions for her, though now wasn't the time, so shaking my head, I ignored everything else and looked down at her condition, only to furrow my brows in confusion at what I saw.
'Soul sickness? What is that?' Thought Alexander with a slight frown as he rubbed his chin, only for an excited and somewhat childish voice to resound within his mind.
'I know Master! Ask me! I promise I know!' Said Trina eagerly as she bounced around and waved her hands, causing Alexander to smile wryly.
'S-Sorry Trina, but I'm going to have to ask Zartha; you're not exactly the best at explaining things.' Replied Alexander lightly as he patted his heart, which was where Trina resided, causing her to pout.
'But you're always asking, sister, I want to help you too, Master.' Said Trina sadly as she squatted on the ground, drawing circles in the calm ocean, causing Alexander to apologize.
'I'm sorry, Trina, but regarding something so important, I'd prefer to ask Zartha. I promise I'll start asking you questions from now on; just make sure you can properly explain them, okay?' Remarked Alexander, his words successfully revitalizing Trina as she jumped in joy while jumping her fist into the air with a determined expression.
'So, Zartha?' Added Alexander as he felt Trina's presence disappear from his mind before shifting towards Zartha.
'Soul Sickness is simply that, a sickness of the soul, which makes perfect sense as to why your blood didn't heal her; your blood can only affect the material plane, not the spiritual plane.' Stated Zartha coldly as she looked through Alexander's mind, reading Yuki's status panel, causing her to raise her eyebrow slightly at what he saw.
'Tsk, well, that's great, but what I want to know is if she'll be okay and how can I help her?' Asked Alexander sarcastically before he shook his head and solemnly glanced at Yuki, softly rubbing her cheek.
'No, and No. Soul sickness is not deadly, but if she doesn't cure herself, she'll stay like this forever; as for you helping her, you can't, not directly, at least. Soul sickness is created when one goes through a great deal of emotional trauma, which is powerful enough to split the soul, which she experienced when she killed you, Master. It may be hard to put into perspective, but think of it like this: imagine if you were forced to kill your Master, Lavender.' Declared Zartha indifferently as she shook her head before leaning backward into her chair, enjoying the bright sun up above against her soft, pale skin.
'Ugh, y-yeah, I-I get what you're saying now, but I-I doubt Yuki cares for me as much as I cared for Master; I mean, we've only known each other for about five months.' Muttered Alexander with an ugly expression while he shivered in terror.
'She was about to kill herself without any hesitation for your sake, Master; I dare say she cares for you as much as you cared for Lavender. After all, while time helps, it's not the sole deciding factor for how intensely one loves or cares for another.' Remarked Zartha lightly, her words causing Alexander to quiet down before sighing and nodding in agreement.
'Yeah, I suppose you're right. I did fall in love with Master rather quickly.' Said Alexander with a nod and a bittersweet smile before shaking his head and sighing.
'So, how can she cure herself?' Asked Alexander curiously, only to get an answer he didn't wish to hear.
'She simply needs to overcome her trauma, which isn't something you can directly do.' Replied Zartha lightly, causing Alexander to groan in annoyance before nodding.
"Haa, I see. Thanks for the help, Zartha." Said Alexander softly as he stood up and stretched while Zartah nodded before closing her eyes.
Since I couldn't seem to directly help Yuki, which sucks, I checked the clock, noting it was around three-twenty-one before glancing at the puddle of vomit, causing me to sigh as I knew I had to clean the house now.
"Haa, this is going to suck, especially when I get to her room; ugh, just imagining it is making me shiver. I'll put on clothes once I finish since I'll probably need to take a shower again." Muttered Alexander as he walked towards a closet, grabbing cleaning towels and a few other things.

Standing before Yuki's room with a satisfied smile, I marveled at how clean it looked and how good it smelled; it was a disgusting endeavor, but now her room was spotless! I did burn her mattress and some blankets to ashes since the pee, vomit, and diarrhea had soaked into them, but besides that, everything looked amazing.
