I... I really don't know why I did that back then...

So, a new person moved into this neighborhood recently... But, unlike others, they came in for regular checkups so diligently... and when I prescribed medicine, well...!

...

They were taking it so faithfully...

Maybe that's why I unknowingly grew attached to them. I-it wasn't intentional...! It just happened...

Sigh...

Back to the point, that person came to the hospital today. It wasn't even their checkup day, so they must have been feeling unwell... I gave them a simple examination, and it was really nothing serious... Ugh... but a strange thought popped into my head.

If this person is sick, I can spend more time with them, I thought...

...Um... Guest? It seems you're much sicker than I thought—

Aaaah, and that's how it ended up like this!!

...I think.

...

Guest, I am so sorry...!! I don't know how many times I've apologized in my head... But... now that I've said it, your expression looks so serious that it's too late to take it back...

What do I do, seriously...?!
