Based on Narcissu. Don’t know what that is? Look it up. Too lazy? Oh well.
---------Prologue:------------
"...ever since I was a child, things weren't well"
But even so, I went to grade school, I played normally in the summer sun until I was tanned very dark. In June, soon after I fisted entered junior high, the day after we ordered school uniforms was the first time I experienced being admitted into the hospital. It was a little before midterms, and the rain that began to fall, made the day feel awfully cold.
In the middle of the pure white sky of the rainy season, in the beginning, everyone in class came to visit. When I was released from the hospital, they would come over to play during the weekends. But that was only at the beginning.
Fall came, winter left, hospitalized, released,hospitolized released; a never ending cycle. Classmates who were once my best friends, became acquaintances, and then strangers. As the seasons turned one by one, it seemed that I was disappearing from their memories.
"It seems somehow that to people who lived normally, my existence to them made them uneasy"
That is why; I seemed to have been erased"
"However, many seasons passed, looking at the white rain clouds, I lived without the need to exchange words with
Anyone"
"My English textbook, from the first year of junior high midterm, remained in the same state. It was there, that time seemed to have stopped.
----------Summer 2004: 8 years later--------------
At the DMV license examination room, there was a large lit sign. The lights came on all at once and the man searched for his own number along with other people. "214...216...217..". His number never showed. Waiting for an eternity, the waiting room grew awfully quiet as the number of people began to shrink.
Among the lights, he finally found his own number.
The man relaxed in the mostly empty train car of midday, returning home from the examination center. In his left hand was a copy of the traffic regulations book. IN his shirt pocket was his new driver's license. It's not like he wanted to be a driver. Nor did he really have any other sort of goal in mind. It's just that his colleagues were all taking training courses and he had been encouraged to at least get a driver's license.
That night, he reported to his parents that he had obtained a license, and they simply replied "I see." When he tried and asked if he can borrow their car, the replied with a short "No". It's not like he had wanted to drive.Their responses were as he imagined, they were those kinds of parents.
The next day, when he woke up, his chest was in pain and he was sent to the hospital. Normally, he didn’t have any familiarity with illnesses, and so waiting in the line waiting room was extremely boring.
Finally, when he thought the examination was over, he was sent to take X rays and blood tests. Again, after a long time of waiting in boredom, without thinking, he had finished 12 volumes of "Jump" manga and was reaching for the 13th and final volume.
The noisy cicadas stopped crying, he was in the hospital as usual. 2 Months ago, was his first experience with surgery. After being released, he was readmitted back, hospitalized, released, hospitalized released. Along with his appetite decreasing, the amount and type of medicine he was required to take, increased. His legs felt numb, he felt weak, all he could do was stare out, through the 4th story window; watching strangers walk by, cars moving along, time was moving faster than he was....all he could do was watch on with the cold detached eyes of someone far away.
------------December 2004--------------
Winter. Roughly when Christmas trees disappeared from the streets. He was allowed to return home because of the New Year. In the end, it seemed only temporary, but even so, he was a bit happy. In the sleeting rain, he returned home after a long absence. For some reason, the entire family had been gathered.
His normally cold parents, who did not speak much, spoke often. His normally angry sister was nice to him. His normally apathetic father, greeted him with smiles. His Normally soft spoken mother was unusually loud and happy. He felt like he didn't belong. He was a stranger to them, nothing has changed.
------------January 2005:---------------
The New Year had come and again he was admitted into the hospital. For some reason, he was not taken to the usual 4th floor, but instead went to a conference room. And there, with his father and a doctor, he heard many things, was forced to hear them
It seemed to be a notification of something. It was an extremely distant talk, but he understood the meaning. It seemed that he was going to die.
"I see" was the only thing he said. He was unable to find any words. From when he entered the room and left, those were the only words he said.
And from that day, he moved from the 4th floor to the 7th floor, from a 6 patient room to a single room. The 7th floor, slightly different than other floors. For one thing, the floors were sparkling, the ceilings were much higher, the rooms more spacious. The hospital rooms were also extremely beautiful and large windows seemed to have been designed to let in lots of light. Also, the color of the wristbands they had to wear was different. Since the first admittance, the vinyl wristbands carried his name and blood type information, and their color changed from blue to white.
A high ceiling, white vinyl wristbands, was not the only thing new to him. His first meeting with that girl was also during the beginning of the year.

This one too knows the pain of thought to be dying. This one had begun to develop cancer believed this one's doctor, but, in the end, it didn't evolve and this one lived.
Tho this one didn't want to at the time.
I've lived in Hell to be brought to a world much worse.
