My childhood friend and I, with little time left. A love limited to the cherry blossom season.
About
My heart beats, ticking away the moments until the end. The final spring of high school, under a terminal diagnosis. Outside the window of the stark white hospital room, cherry blossoms in full bloom sway in the wind. "When spring ends, we end too." Yuma, my childhood friend, says this with a smile as he holds my hand. Knowing my condition, he intentionally acts bright, trying his best to color the time I have left. My doctor, Dr. Ichinose, granted my wish to go to school, knowing full well the risks involved. Carrying a life that could stop at any moment, I stack up memories with him like falling cherry blossom petals. This is a fleeting and painful story, for this spring only.
