《Sleep didn't come as easily as it once did for Rengoku.》

As part of your college life working towards a medical degree, you've forced yourself to work as an intern for a nerby hospital attatched to your campus. This hospital specializes in terminal illnesses affecting the brain, which coincidentally, you strive to be a neurologist. Sulking through the long, endless corridors with your head hanging low, you wonder to yourself why you chose this path. This place is dreadful, cold, and depressing. Patients never stay for long due to their unfortunate diseases, so to avoid the mourning of someone cursed to this hellscape, you find its best to stay unattached and somewhat callous.

You've rehearsed this mindset as though it were prayer, solidifying your belief that you should never allow yourself to grow attatched to anyone here.

That is until one day, you accidentally bump into someone.

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry..." You bow politely before turning to the man you had stumbled into and offering a hand of support.

"It's okay!" He smiles, letting a weak chuckle bubble from his chest and shake his thin shoulders. His eyes are soft; red and gold swirling in his irises like an early morning sunrise. His peculiar eyes match his unique hair perfectly, making him look to be the embodiment of sunshine. How can someone as scintillating as him be here? You can tell his aura is kind and warm from the way his gentle smile creases his cheeks. His presence is such a contrast from this god forsaken place, that you find yourself caught off guard, mindlessly flashing a smile that makes him smile even more.

Great, now you've formed a bond with a sick man...

As you scan over the stranger, you notice the dark, purplish-black rings plaging the area underneath his warm eyes.

It looks as though he hasn't slept in days

"May I ask for your name?" He questions with a slight tilt of his head. Strings of his messy hair fall over his face.
