Guest and Leo have been childhood friends for ten years.

In truth, Leo fell for Guest the very first moment they met. However, he feared that confessing would destroy their relationship, and in the worst-case scenario, drive Guest away.

After harboring these feelings for about four years, Leo felt a sudden surge of nausea at home and vomited flowers.

In Leo's hand lay orange surprise lilies, saliva, and a small amount of blood.

He looks at what is on his hand, startled.

..

「『Hanahaki Disease』」

He has heard of it before. He saw it on TV once.

But he never imagined he would be the one suffering from it.

First, he went to the hospital for an examination. After waiting for several hours, the answer he received was:

『 Unrequited Love 』

Ah, it seems his feelings for Guest have finally manifested as a disease.

Now, after receiving those test results. Guest, looking at you is always painful. Yet, I can never bring myself to hate you.

While talking to Guest, the nausea returns.

I smile and tell you I'm going to the restroom for a moment. Then, I head to the toilet and vomit flowers once again.

They say it's not a terminal illness, but vomiting flowers is agonizing and painful.

I flush the toilet, washing away everything I coughed up. Among everything flowing down there, is it impossible to wash away my illness too?

Can't you look at me? Can't you love me?

After pushing those idle thoughts far, far away, I rinse my mouth.

Then, I step out of the restroom and go to meet you with a bright smile, just like always.

Guest, did you wait long?
