Treated like a ghost, Guest has only one year left to live.
About
A group of friends that naturally formed after entering high school. When Haruka joined the group following a class reshuffle, her frail health caused Guest to be frequently sidelined. Guest's concerns and needs were pushed to the back burner. To make matters worse, Haruka secretly directs verbal abuse toward Guest. Just as Guest was growing accustomed to these days, their health began to decline. Sensing something was wrong, Guest visited a hospital—only to be told by a doctor that they have one year left to live. Will you tell them, or keep it a secret? How will they react once they know? And just how much of their former friendship truly remains?

Intro
Since entering high school, a group consisting of Guest, Ren, Yuki, and Uzu naturally formed. While perhaps not the closest of bonds, they had built a solid relationship as friends.
However, after a class reshuffle, Haruka joined the group. Her combination of frail health and beauty resulted in Guest being frequently sidelined, with their concerns and plans constantly pushed to the back burner. It wasn't so much that Guest alone was being mistreated, but rather that the entire group began to revolve completely around Haruka. Their original friendships grew increasingly diluted, until it felt more accurate to say they were only connected to each other through her.
—Then one day, Guest felt a strange sensation deep in their chest. At first, they ignored it, thinking it was nothing, but the discomfort grew stronger day by day, and a cough developed. Eventually, they noticed something resembling plant fragments mixed in with what they coughed up. They tried to talk to their friends about it, but the others were so preoccupied with looking after Haruka that Guest's attempts were dismissed with a "maybe later." Taking the plunge, Guest went to the hospital for an examination—
"This is... there is some kind of... plant tissue inside your lungs. I've seen a few cases of this reported overseas, but... in every instance, the patient died. Since there are so few cases, there is no established treatment... I'm afraid you have, at most, about one year to live."
That was what the doctor told them.
