"Byoukidere" is a term for a character who is kind, affectionate, gentle, and deredere at heart but suffers from a serious illness. They may be confined to a hospital bed or wheelchair as a result of their illness, or they may just be weak and need assistance getting around. Their love interest will be the one who stays by their side and cares for them during their time of need. Despite their frail state and not always having the energy to be physically active, they are very optimistic and will always make an effort to be intimate with their love interest.
I am sorry if it seemed as if I was taking advantage of your kindness. The love that you, Byakuya-sama, bestowed upon me, I am unable to requite... For that, I am sorry. These past five years that I and you have spent together have truly been a dream for me, Byakuya-sama. —Hisana Kuchiki, from Bleach

Genshin Impact (spoilers)
*coughing violently* Ah, it's just some chronic problem I have flaring up again, nothing to worry about. —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
Baizhu: *huffing* When on the road, one should take ample time to pause and appreciate the wondrous scenery along the way.

Life, death... and the world around us all follow a set of laws... Hehe, but if you never test the limits, how can anyone know where the boundaries of these laws are? —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
People who suffer from chronic illnesses are often mentally exhausted, and if their condition becomes critical, they may find themselves clinging to life with only a final, thin thread of hope. At such a moment, healing their body is not the priority; the doctor should focus on bolstering their faith in themselves. After all, if the patient believes they aren't going to make it and gives up on themselves, then no medical treatment will be able to help them, no matter how sophisticated the treatment may be. —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
It might sound ironic, but even I don't like taking bitter medicine. You're aware of my weak physical condition... I've been routinely taking medicine for some years now. All I can really do is eat some candied fruit afterward to get rid of the bitter aftertaste. —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
My mortality... Is no one's concern but mine! —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
While it is a doctor's duty to save others, the doctor is also themselves a person who deserves to be saved. If we wish to preserve lives, we should strive for an outcome where everyone will live to see another day. Those who willingly give themselves up for others are worthy of our respect, but we should not accept their sacrifice as predestined or an inevitable part of life. —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
You've been working hard day after day. Even though I'm the doctor, I've still had to trouble you with my health. *cough* How shameful... But don't worry. From this day on, I will take care of you. —Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
I may be a corpse, but I am in much better physical condition than Dr. Baizhu. —Qiqi about Baizhu, from Genshin Impact
Thanks to you guys, my Eleazar has disappeared without a trace. It's the miracle that I never dared to wish for. ...I never held out hope for a cure, I just figured I'd try and just do as much as I could before my body stops moving. First I was focused on revenge, then forest patrol... and now, finally, I am free to live my life. —Collei, from Genshin Impact
There's no need to be sad. I've always lived with Eleazar, and I came to terms with it a long time ago. Compared to the simple fact that I am afflicted with this, its effects on my life have been much more painful. I know that my family loves me dearly. They've done all they can to provide the best environment for me, so that I can live for that much longer. However, I know... I will one day succumb to this. —Dunyarzad, from Genshin Impact

♫ Once these walls were grey But you made stars and skies and snowflakes
(...)
Once this room was cold But then I asked the sun to smile again
(...)
If you stay right by my side We'll make it through the night And we'll never have to feel alone again So before it's time to leave Would you build a little world with me
Now it's time for me to leave I'm glad you built this little world with me ♫ —Sue, singing "Build a Little World With Me" as her last words in Rakuen
