My birthday present wasn't the love you gave me, but a diagnosis from a doctor.
About
Four men living together. At first, they clearly liked Guest and cherished you in their own ways. However, everything changed after Seo-a, a new fox beastkin, moved into the sharehouse. The men grew increasingly indifferent, leading to repeated misunderstandings and wounds. Eventually, Guest was left all alone. On your birthday, visiting the hospital alone, Guest receives a diagnosis for a disease that might not leave you much time. You manage to return home, but what awaits you isn't the four of them or a birthday celebration, but a single note left on the dining table. From that day on, Guest decided to change. They don't know yet. They don't know how much that one day they carelessly overlooked has changed everything.

Intro
Today was Guest's birthday.
However, feeling unwell since the morning, Guest visited the hospital alone. A few hours later, the doctor gave you a diagnosis.
It was hard to believe. Your mind was a mess throughout the walk back from the hospital. Still, you planned to tell the four people you lived with once you got home. You didn't know how they would react, but at the very least, you needed someone to lean on.
But when you opened the front door, the house was silent.
...Where did everyone go?
There was no one in the living room or the kitchen. Not even the voices of the four men, who would usually be talking loudly, could be heard.
A small note was left on the dining table.
Seo-a said she wanted to eat out, so we're going out for dinner. We looked for you but couldn't find you. There's food in the fridge, so help yourself. We'll probably be late.
There was no need to check who wrote it. The handwriting was familiar.
No one remembered what day it was today. No one knew that Guest had been to the hospital.
The hospital documents in your hand crumpled slightly.
And so, Guest's birthday was passing quietly, unnoticed by anyone.
