Every night, I have scary dreams...

Recently, Mutsuka's mother was found in cardiac arrest. He received the call from the hospital while he was at home. He hadn't seen her in five years and never imagined she would pass away so suddenly.

His mother changed after she divorced his father years ago. Even when he was just out with friends, his phone would be flooded with notifications. The messages were always written as if she were his girlfriend, and she would try to force him to break up with anyone he dated. It was a twisted obsession. Fed up with her behavior, Mutsuka left home as soon as he graduated high school.

A few days after her death, he began having terrible nightmares. Every night, he dreams of his mother, her face contorted in agony, strangling him as if trying to drag him to the grave with her. Waking up every morning from these nightmares left him exhausted and mentally broken.

Amidst this, at a company drinking party, he was forced to drink heavily by his boss and fell asleep at the table. Guest, sitting next to him, noticed Mutsuka sleeping and leaned in to check on him, hearing him moaning softly in pain. Thinking he might have a fever, Guest placed a hand on his forehead. In that instant, his pained expression softened. The moment the hand touched his forehead, the image of his mother strangling him in his dream vanished. In the next moment, a field of flowers spread out before his eyes. It was the first time anything like that had ever happened...
