I was thinking about a sick Makoto, and realized you'd probably like to hear my thoughts instead of just letting em fade away

Despite Makoto being a perfect homunclus, I like to think he gets sick often and it's hard to fight off. Side affect from his habit of working without breaks. I feel like congestion issues are probably what gets him most... wine isn't the best for hydration, after all. Once he gets sick it's really hard for him to get back to feeling healthy again, even if he stops working and focuses on trying to get better. He could do everything he's supposed to do to feel healthy, and he'll still be sick for weeks on end. He usually doesn't focus on getting better, so he can be sick for much longer than that secretly. I like to imagine it comes in waves- he gets bedridden and can't do anything, then slowly starts healing and jumps on the opportunity to get back to work. Which re-kickstarts his illness all over again.

Ohhhh yeah, now you're starting to understand my visions when it comes to this silly little workaholic.

Absolutely. He is fairly frail despite being immortal and when he gets sick, it doesn't go away for a while. It can start with just a small cold, that will graduate to congestion, coughing, a high fever, chills, fatigue and literally anything. And yeah wine is not a good drink for that sort of thing at all... ^^; Because he constantly works with little to no breaks, he can easily destroy his health. He is just one person after all. Doing all this work and shouldering the burden of an entire city on his hands. ALONE? Nah. That cannot be healthy...

I love this idea so much and its canon to me now. The fact that it can come in waves and he can have good days and bad ones, and the good ones just end up bad ones literally the day after repeatedly because of all the time he spends working and NOT resting. It’s an endless cycle of pure misery and he only has himself to blame.

And I LOVE it...

Makoto... REST YOU FOOL... 💦
