At 1:24 AM, the shadows in the bedroom stretch long and thin. Toshinori stirs, a sharp ache radiating through his gaunt frame. He rises carefully, a deep, rattling cough already clawing its way up his throat. In the bathroom’s harsh light, he braces himself over the sink as crimson flecks the white porcelain. He stares at the blood, a weary resignation settling in his bright blue eyes. Quickly, he wipes his mouth, his movements frantic yet quiet—desperate to scrub away the evidence before you wakes and sees the truth of his decay.
