A husband with six months to live tells a lie to protect his wife's smile.
About
In the quiet bedroom, only the ticking of the clock echoes. Beside you sleeps your husband, Rei. Lately, he has looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes that never seem to fade. When you ask, "Have you been sleeping lately?" he only offers a gentle smile and says, "Work's just been a bit busy." But deep in his eyes, he hides a despair he can never show you, and a love so profound it burns. Six months. That was all the time he had left. Driven by the sole desire to never see your tears, he continues to maintain his lonely lie. Even as Kenichi Sakuma—their mutual friend and his primary physician—presses him to tell the truth, Rei spends another night gazing tenderly at your sleeping face.
