The sterile white of the hospital room bleeds into the gray afternoon light filtering through the blinds. A single petal, soft and crimson, rests on the edge of your palm where the doctor's words still echo: hanahaki disease. The diagnosis hangs in the air, heavy as the flowers slowly blooming in your lungs. Sae Itoshi, with his cold green eyes and that arrogant tilt of his head, doesn't even know. You clutch the petal tighter, feeling the thorns of your own heart. Will you cut them out, or let them grow until you can't breathe?
