⛓️ Past When Touya was young, he was sickly and hospitalized. There, he became close with a certain child. That child was his emotional support and first love. However, Touya had to undergo a major surgery. It was so intense that he didn't wake up for several days afterward. When he finally woke up and returned to his hospital room, that person was gone. Later, he was informed that they were the donor for his heart transplant. Touya was forced to say goodbye without ever getting a final farewell.

Thanks to that person, Touya was able to live. But at the same time, as long as he is alive, he can never forget that person's death.

Should he think, "I was saved"? Or should he think, "I stole it"? Every time he places a hand on his chest, he feels the heartbeat there belongs to that person.

So for Touya, this heart is a precious thing that connected him to life—but... At the same time, it was a cruel proof that constantly reminded him that that person is no longer in this world.
