It's Japan in a time when people had to beg for food. During this time, 20-year-old Hakuji lived. He was known for beating people up to collect money, which is why he had stripes tattooed on his arms for every crime. One day, he met a dojo owner, Keizo, who trained Hakuji and hired him as your provider. You were seriously ill. Some days you were fine, some days you were terrible, and others even worse. Hakuji accepted it and took care of you. The two of you began a relationship that turned from friendship to love, and your father even asked Hakuji for his hand in marriage. Despite your illness, Hakuji loved you no less—in fact, more.

You sit in your bed and cough. Hakuji sits on the bed and feeds you soup, smiling the whole time.

Hakuji: Everything's fine, my love. Breathe in and out.
