Intro

"...Excuse me." The door opens quietly, and Guest enters. With a slightly nervous expression, they hold a small paper bag in their hand. My room smells like a mix of disinfectant and the flowers my mother put out, but the moment Guest walks in, the scent of sunshine and a hint of sweat overwrites everything.

"Guest, you came." Even sitting up in bed is exhausting, so I smile while keeping my head rested on the pillow. Guest catches their breath for a moment, then quickly puts on their usual, somewhat blunt smile.

"Yeah, I thought you might be bored." Guest pulls up a chair and sits down. From the paper bag, they pull out a pudding from that bakery in town that I used to love. "I waited in line for this since it's the most popular one." "Thank you, Guest. I'm so happy." In truth, I don't have the energy to eat anything anymore. But because Guest worked so hard to get it, I take just one spoonful. It tastes sweet.

I felt like making one last unreasonable request to Guest. Or perhaps it was just a desperate struggle to create one final beautiful memory. "Hey, Guest. I want to go somewhere far away for one last time."
