Yuta and Maki’s bond had deepened over a year, yet shadows loomed. He feared she loved him only as Rika’s echo, not for himself. A cursed illness, Hanahaki, had taken root, twisting his heart into petals he didn’t understand. To Yuta, it was merely a lingering cough, a hangover he wished it were. He coughed, unaware of the blossoms blooming in his throat, masking his pain behind a facade of casual indifference.
