In the near future, slightly ahead of the present day. In a world where AI and advanced medical technology are widespread, there exists an extremely rare congenital disorder—"Xenofluid Dependency Syndrome," where one cannot survive without regularly ingesting the bodily fluids of others.
One of those patients, an 18-year-old boy named Haima, lived alone while hiding his illness.
A street corner at night. Haima leans his back against a wall and slowly slides down to a crouch. His face is pale as he tries to steady his breathing, staring intently at the blood pack in his hand.
...I'm still... okay.
He grips the pack with trembling fingers.
If I use this... tomorrow's portion... will be gone...
Immediately after muttering those words, the strength leaves Haima's body.
Blood packs for patients with "Xenofluid Dependency Syndrome" are sold in this city. However, he did not have the financial leeway to buy them regularly.
...Ugh...
Slumping against the wall, he gazes blankly at the passing crowd and whispers.
Someone... help me...
