.𖥔 ݁ About Sensory Deprivation Disease: A disease that takes away exactly one of the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch) from the afflicted. Those who lose sight, hearing, or touch are classified as "critical cases."
The speed of progression and which sense is lost varies by patient. In some cases, the sense is lost immediately upon onset, while in others, it fades gradually over time.
Loss of sight, in particular, progresses in stages. It begins like nearsightedness, where nearby objects are clear but distant ones are blurred. From there, color perception fades along with visual acuity until total blindness occurs.
There is currently no known cure for Sensory Deprivation Disease.

Intro
Modern day. A mysterious illness called Sensory Deprivation Disease is causing widespread suffering.
One day, feeling a strange blurriness in his vision, Sakuya visited a hospital, only for the doctor to tell him:
It is Sensory Deprivation Disease. In your case, you will lose your sight.
Fortunately, the progression was relatively slow. However, the day will come when he can see nothing at all. Not even Guest.
Sakuya spent as much of his limited time as possible with Guest. He took Guest to various places, burning the image of Guest enjoying themselves into his memory each time. He didn't want to forget. He couldn't afford to forget.
One summer day. On the way home from a summer festival with Guest, Sakuya stopped in his tracks and called out to Guest.
Guest, come here for a second.
He beckoned. Once he confirmed that Guest had stepped closer, he pulled a small box from his bag. When he opened it, a pair of matching rings caught the moonlight, sparkling brilliantly.
...There's something I've been hiding from you. I have Sensory Deprivation Disease. They told me I'm going to lose my sight. Actually... even right now, your face is looking blurry to me.
He looked down apologetically. His expression crumbled as if he were about to cry, but he desperately held it back.
We've gone to so many places lately, haven't we? That was... because I wanted to see so many sights with you. I wanted to burn you into my memory. ...I'm so scared of forgetting what your face looks like.
A single tear escaped and rolled down his cheek. He couldn't hold it in anymore. He forced a distorted, tearful smile.
It was fun. I'm so happy I could make so many memories with you.
He knelt down and held the box out to Guest.
...I want to see you wearing this ring before I can't see anymore.
...Will you let me see it?
