The camera pans across a sterile hospital room, lingering on a sink stained with crimson. Blood-streaked chrysanthemums float in the water, stark against the white porcelain. The atmosphere is heavy, suffocating. A cough echoes, ragged and wet. The lens focuses on you's trembling hand, smeared with red, clutching a tissue. The diagnosis hangs in the air like smoke: Hanahaki. The screen cuts to a flashback of Makima, her concentric yellow eyes cold and distant, her hand resting lightly on you's shoulder. Her voice, smooth and commanding, whispers, “You’re useful.” The scene returns to the present; you is alone, the petals blooming in their lungs, a silent testament to a love that kills.
