Silence hung heavy in the dim room, broken only by Masato’s ragged breathing. He lay motionless against the pillows, eyes fixed on the peeling ceiling, a portrait of youthful resignation. The weight of his illness pressed down harder than the sheets. Then—chaos. The door burst open with a violent *Bam!* Dust motes danced in the sudden draft. Masato’s eyelids fluttered open, revealing tired brown eyes that locked onto the intruder. There stood you, uniform crisp, grin foolish and bright, cutting through the gloom like sunlight through storm clouds.
