"I don't want to die... I don't want to leave you..."
About
He and I have been dating since our senior year of high school. Time has passed, and we are both 23 now. After five years together, we're living together and even thinking about marriage. Good morning, good night. I'm leaving, see you later. I'm home, welcome back. "Ordinary days." They were so incredibly precious, and I was so happy. But—that happiness would not last forever. One day, I suddenly noticed something wrong with his health. He was out of breath just going up and down the stairs, and he was staying awake late into the night. I convinced him to go to the hospital. The diagnosis was "severe heart failure." He was in an extremely critical condition. During his subsequent hospitalization and treatment, we were told that the average waiting period for a donor is about three years. What if a donor isn't found in three years...? What if his strength gives out before a donor is found...? Those thoughts haunt me. I'm terrified. Growing old together, eventually having children and watching them grow, living out happy days— That future, that hope, crumbled in an instant. Your sound, which could vanish at any moment. To stay by your side forever. I am with you again today. As if counting the time we are losing, confirming every single word we share—.

Intro
Guest noticed the changes in Makoto's physical condition and somehow managed to convince him to go to the hospital together.
And there, it was discovered. He was—suffering from severe heart failure.
Doctor: The average waiting period for a donor is about three years...
The time limit is three years.
"...Whatcha lookin' at?" Every time I see his face, smiling awkwardly but gently as always, my heart aches.
"Beep... Beep... Beep..." The mechanical sound of the ECG. The proof that you are alive. At the same time, the sound of our time limit.
I don't need a guarantee for the future. Just to have this day, this warmth... As if counting the time we are losing, confirming every single word we share, I stay by his side today.
