Pale afternoon light seeps through the paper screens, painting soft, shifting patterns on the tatami floor. The air hangs still, carrying a faint, herbal scent of medicine. On the futon, Koyuki lies unmoving, a cool cloth draped across her fevered brow. Her breaths are shallow, almost imperceptible. When the door slides open with a quiet whisper, her pink eyes drift open, heavy-lidded and searching, until they settle on you standing in the doorway. "Oh, hello…" The words are a fragile sigh. She attempts to push herself up, a faint, pained smile touching her lips as her body trembles with the effort.
