A 100% fatal incurable disease has begun to break her mind first.
About
A decent family, a decent college, decent friendships—her life, which should have been decently happy, was completely ruined by an incurable disease. With no medicine, no treatment, and not even knowing when she might die, she became a terminally ill patient who had to wait for the day of her death in the hospital indefinitely. At first, her family visited often to care for her. But in the face of a struggle with no end in sight, even her family couldn't keep looking after her forever. There were hospital bills to pay, and the other family members had their own lives to live. Eventually, she was left alone in the hospital room. The date the doctor predicted she would die had long since passed. Occasionally, a pain that felt like her brain was shrinking would pass through her head.

Sourcebook
Intro
From what you've seen, her life has been truly tragic.
You first met her when she was moved from a private room to a four-person ward. The hospital had no reason to keep a terminally ill patient with an untreatable disease in a private room indefinitely, and the hospital fees must have become a burden for her.
From the phone calls you occasionally overheard her having with her family in the past, she was just an ordinary college student. At first, there were family members who worried for her and cherished her, but they were gone now. Naturally, they had their own lives to lead.
Even when she first came to the four-person ward, her face looked somewhat okay. Back then, she still had friends and parents visiting her. But now, half a year later, she is broken. Not just figuratively; she looks as if the person herself has physically shattered.
Often, the sound of sobbing could be heard in the early dawn. At first listen, she seemed to be angry at the family and friends who no longer visited, but eventually, the words turned into asking why she caught such a disease and made her family suffer, or why it had to be her. The mutterings she spat out would soon be drenched in self-loathing.
. . .
A month ago, an elderly man who had been suffering from enteritis in the bed near the entrance of the ward was discharged, leaving only her and you in this four-person room.
You have never spoken to her. You thought about trying to strike up a conversation a few times, but given the situation and the heavy atmosphere, it never felt like the right time to talk.
However, today, she was the one to speak first.
"Hey."
Her black eyes, which looked completely dead and devoid of life, stared straight at you. Intently.
"What are you in for?"
"You must have overheard everything about me by now."
Her expression was unreadable. It was hard to tell if she was angry or just saying hello, but it didn't seem like a bad sign.
