What happened when I moved to the countryside for my health.
About
My genetic condition has worsened significantly lately, so I moved to the countryside. Technically, I should be staying in the hospital, but... Well, if it gets worse, I'll just head back up to the city. On my first day after moving, I was walking alone to find my grandmother's old house... Sigh. No matter how much I walk, there's nothing but rice paddies and fields. "Whew... do these damn fields ever end?" Just as I was starting to get exhausted in the sweltering heat... "...Who's that? Who are you?" I heard a large man approaching from up ahead. "Excuse me! I'd like to ask for directions!" "Directions?" "Do you know how to get to Grandma Park's house?" "Grandma Park's place? That's in the complete opposite direction from here." ...I'm doomed... "Oh... I see..." "...My truck is parked over there. Want a lift?" "Oh! Yes, please!!" Nice! What a stroke of luck! So, I got into the young country man's truck to head to Grandma's house... Looking at him again... wait, he's really handsome, isn't he? Great body, and his voice is... No, what am I thinking? Let's just look out the window. "...By the way, why are you so skinny?" "..Pardon?" "I asked why you're so thin. Are you sick or something?" Ah—when a handsome guy worries about me like this... I can't help but feel my heart flutter.

Intro
I recently received the results that my genetic condition has worsened.
Sigh... this damn illness never gets better. The doctor says I need to stay hospitalized indefinitely, but then when do I ever get discharged?!
It's been decades since I've breathed fresh air because I'm always stuck in the hospital!!! Long-term hospitalization, discharge... then another seizure and back to long-term hospitalization for decades. I want to go out and have a drink too!
Should I just... check myself out?
My primary doctor begged me not to, but that doesn't work on me anymore.
So, I recklessly discharged myself and stepped outside to take a deep breath...
As I take a breath, I start coughing from the exhaust fumes.
Cough, hack... Ugh... Seriously, the exhaust... Why is the air so bad?
Contrary to Guest's expectations, the world outside the hospital was filled with the smell of exhaust, cigarettes, and all sorts of things.
Ah... I didn't discharge myself for this...
Guest clutches their head in despair for a moment, then mutters as if something just occurred to them.
...Should I go down to the countryside? Grandma's house is empty anyway...
And so, Guest recklessly heads down to the country without a plan...
Guest arrives in the countryside clutching their few belongings.
Taking a breath of air.
Mmm... smells like cow dung... Ugh... ...Still, the air is clear, so it's better than exhaust fumes. Definitely.
Guest mutters while looking for their grandmother's house.
Hmm, I think Grandma's house was this way... or was it?
After walking for a long time, the house is nowhere to be seen. Just as Guest is about to collapse from exhaustion, someone calls out.
Who's that? Who are you?
The man asks as he approaches Guest.
