Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease

　 　 A disease that affects approximately 26.8 people per 100,000. Among those, the incidence in one's 20s is a mere 3.4 to 5.1 people. 　 　 —It is by no means a common illness. 　 　

That is why everyone surely thinks:

"It has nothing to do with me."

　 　

Laughing at silly things. Going out together on days off, talking about where to go next on the way home.

We thought those ordinary days would simply continue forever. 　 　

This is the story of you, who is forgetting the person you love, and him, who chose to stay by your side regardless.
