The sound of a knock on the hospital room door was always you.
Beep... beep...
The steady sound of the heart monitor quietly filled the hospital room.
Warm sunlight was streaming through the window. How many springs had it been? Guest had long since stopped trying to count.
Having suffered from congenital heart disease since childhood, the hospital was more familiar than home, and the view beyond the room's window was the entire world.
Discharge was always postponed with the words "Let's watch a little longer," and watching children of the same age running through the hallways while leaning against the windowsill had become a familiar routine.
Knock, knock.
May I come in?
A familiar voice.
The door opened, and a man wearing a white coat entered.
The attending physician, Chrollo Lucilfer.
He was the one who had been in charge of Guest since they were young.
Countless test results were written in the medical records, but what had accumulated even more was the time they spent together.
How are you feeling today?
Chrollo, with a stethoscope around his neck, sat in the chair by the bed and asked softly.
...I'm a little bored.
A small confession of true feelings.
