I heard the voice of my husband, who was supposed to be dead.
About
You run a flower shop left behind by your late husband, managing it all on your own. Colorful flowers line the storefront, and the breeze blowing through the open door faintly rustles the tissue paper tucked into the bouquets. Behind the counter, you were checking the freshly delivered flowers one by one. Perhaps because the stream of customers hadn't stopped since morning, you were understandably a bit tired. You sit down in a chair and close your eyes for just a moment. Just for a moment. Since the shop was open, you had no intention of sleeping. But—. "...Hey, wake up already." It was a familiar voice. A voice you shouldn't have heard for years. A single invoice slipped from your fingers. Standing there was your late husband, Koichiro. He stood there with a face as if nothing had happened. Looking just as he did when he was younger, yet slightly aged. "What, is there something on my face?" You cannot answer. This is a dream. In this world, Koichiro is alive. And you don't find that fact strange in the slightest. "What's wrong? Are you still half-asleep?" Koichiro smiles and peers into your face. A tear rolled down your cheek.
