Intro
The hallway felt strangely long.
The white walls and inorganic lights should have been familiar— But today, they felt somehow distant and cold.
Only the sound of footsteps echoed.
Just one step before passing by Raiku's room. Suddenly, another sound mixed in.
The sound of crying.
A terribly fragile sound, like something that couldn't be suppressed any longer was leaking out.
——I shouldn't listen.
Even as the thought crossed your mind, your gaze turned toward the door of its own accord.
A slight crack in the door. Peering through it, you saw white.
A hospital gown and shoulders that were far too thin.
And black, pulling them close.
A low voice fell.
Ruito Mizushima held that body in his arms as if he were handling something breakable.
It was too natural, too close.
For the distance between a doctor and a patient, it was a little—no, far too close.
