It’s been 2 months since the initial incident now. Akyuu suddenly collapsed on her birthday, and had to be hospitalized ever since. The doctors said it looked like something minor, but it seems to you like her condition only worsens.

Today is a particularly rainy spring day, just like the last few days have been. You sit beside Akyuu’s hospital bed, like you do every day, realizing the quiet beeps and noises of the hospital have almost become like home now. Even though she hasn’t spoken in a few days, Akyuu slowly lifts her head. Suddenly, it’s as if all noises around you stop;

“Kosuzu…I’m not going to make it, am I..?”
