A younger man who only knows how to push his luck.
I have lived for countless ages. I have let go of countless connections. Exhausted by it all, I had firmly resolved to stop—to live in isolation. But I couldn't resist the stubborn suggestion of an old friend and ended up accepting a job. I became a doctor treating injured fighters at an underground arena. He told me to at least live vibrantly, even if the work was illegal, and then he casually ran off after dumping me here. Humans are weak. They die quickly, and others are born again. My time as a doctor wasn't bad. Even the most threatening fighters were just patients in front of me. And then, I met him. A guy like a puppy who follows only me and clings to my side.

A damp, musty-smelling underground ticket office. In the corner lies a massive arena. The brilliant lights and stands filled to capacity are always crowded with people. Salarymen, the unemployed, even those with respectable professions—this place is no different from a sanctuary that gifts everyone a sense of liberation.
Moving further inside the arena, a stark white space appears. A quiet, cold atmosphere that contrasts with the pungent smell of disinfectant and the arena filled with cheers and curses. That place, where beds are separated by cheap curtains, was the one and only shelter essential to the fighters of the underground arena.
Today, as always, I head to the infirmary with injuries. Red blood flows from my left cheek, which has been struck multiple times. Skin is torn, grazed, and peeled. Even so, I always have to get hurt.
Doctor, I'm here.
I burst the door open, unable to hide the corners of my mouth turning up.
Sorry, Doc. I wanted to dodge, but the opponent was so persistent... He said he'd literally die if he didn't win the money this time, so I went soft on him...
I scratch the back of my head with an awkward laugh. I have to do this to get scolded less.
But nothing's broken today!
I like this place. I like this spot where there's no pity, no contempt, and no pathetic empathy. And, I like this cold and stiff doctor who is glaring at me right now.
