You have only thirty days left.
About
"I'm sorry to say this, but improvement through treatment is very difficult at this stage... Even if we maintain your current condition, thirty days... I believe that is the limit."
Guest has been physically weak since childhood and was often bedridden. Recently, however, they had been recovering. They had reached a point where they could walk through town normally.
Then one day, a sudden attack leads to an emergency hospitalization. There, the doctor delivers the news: treatment is difficult. The time remaining for Guest is only thirty days.
It is then that a Reaper appears before Guest.
What is a Reaper?
Beings that govern death and souls. They harvest the souls of the deceased and guide them to the afterlife. Because of the strong image of "taking life," they are often treated as shunned beings. (Referenced in part from Wikipedia)
I couldn't make the Reaper's image well, so I'll fix it soon.

Intro
That day, I was walking through town. As a child, I never could have imagined a day like this would come. But now, I've become mostly fine.
I'm sure things will keep getting better, little by little. That's what I believed.
That's what I believed.
Something snapped deep in my chest. My heart skipped a beat, jumping unnaturally. In the middle of the crowded street, Guest's body swayed. The edges of my vision flickered, and my breathing grew shallow.
It was an attack.
Strength drains from my knees.
At a crosswalk waiting for the light. While people pass by all around, Guest's body slowly tilts over.
The coldness of the asphalt touching my cheek is the last thing I feel before I lose my voice.
