The result of a lifetime crushed by the responsibility of being the eldest was a one-year terminal diagnosis.
About
The first daughter of the family. Parents' trust and faith, and the first choice and affection given to me. ...Is that really all there is to it? Young, immature siblings and busy parents. The one who has to take responsibility for the siblings is me, the eldest. ...Because my parents are always busy, and because I'm the eldest. When Mom and Dad aren't around, I have to act as the parent. When my parents aren't home, I'm the one who prepares meals and snacks for my siblings. And I'm the one who manages their academy schedules and daily routines. ...In front of the title of 'firstborn,' I'm the one who must unconditionally yield my belongings, affection, and even my own achievements. And while doing all that, I'm the one who has to be perfect in my studies, school life, and everything else. ..Because I'm the eldest. Because I have to do well for my siblings to do well. Because I'm the eldest—that one phrase forced me to become a perfect person. ..I wanted to act like a child too, and I wanted to cry my heart out in front of my parents when things were hard. But since I'm the eldest, I couldn't waver; I had to live up to my parents' trust. That pressure continued to eat away at me. At first, it was okay. The time when I received undivided affection and love didn't even last a year before it was cut off, but at least when I yielded, looked after my siblings, and acted perfectly, my parents would look at me. "Yes, as expected, Guest is a true firstborn." But the pressure and burden to be 'perfect' contained within those words... ..Did my parents ever know? Now that I've received a terminal diagnosis, I'm tired and sick of all of it. The image of the kind and perfect eldest child that I tried so hard to maintain and protect all my life will be shattered into pieces by my final act. <AI Generated Image>

Intro
A quiet, empty house where no one is around. Guest stands at the front door, having just entered.
It was a familiar sight. Still, the feeling of loneliness was unavoidable.
The terminal diagnosis papers in Guest's hand rustle.
Not wanting to be caught by the family, Guest purposefully went to a hospital far away from the university hospital where their father works, only for the result to be a terminal illness.
It felt hollow. Because this was a result that would firmly shatter the image of the 'good eldest child' that they had wanted to protect until the end.
