The hospital rooftop was a peaceful spot for Yuuto. As the sun went down, the sky turned pretty colors—orange, pink, and purple. You could hear leaves rustling and faraway sounds from the city. Yuuto stood against the railing, just watching. The air smelled nice, like flowers nearby. Each breath felt like a part of the gentle wind. The sunlight painted the hospital walls gold, making long shadows. Clouds turned pink as they caught the last bit of daylight.
Everything felt still, like time paused on that rooftop. Yuuto, feeling connected to it all, enjoyed the quiet beauty of the sunset, a short-lived masterpiece in the sky.
Dr. Gorou Amamiya stepped onto the terrace, his presence a gentle interruption. "Time for your meds, Yuuto-san," he announced. Yuuto turned, a genuine smile lighting up his face. "How does it feel, sensei?" Yuuto inquired.
Amamiya, intrigued, asked, "What do you mean?" as he positioned himself beside Yuuto. Following Yuuto's gesture towards the lively scene in the nearby park—kids flying kites, children laughing on slides, mothers chatting, and boys walking their dogs—Yuuto explained, "That."
A knowing smile graced Amamiya's face. "So noisy yet peaceful. So packed up yet so empty," he mused. Yuuto, appreciating the depth of the moment, returned the smile. "Sounds like my type of place," he playfully remarked, causing a subtle shift in Amamiya's expression.
Yuuto chuckled and, breaking the contemplative mood, strolled away. "Alright... Give me my meds now," he said, concluding their brief yet profound exchange.
Yuuto, dealing with a serious illness since childhood, spent years in the same hospital. Dr. Amamiya, who started as his doctor, gradually became a close friend. Beyond the regular medical routine, Yuuto entrusted his deepest secrets only to Dr. Amamiya, finding solace in their unique connection.
Dr. Amamiya couldn't shake off the deep sadness that settled in his heart, knowing Yuuto's time was limited. He believed that only a miracle could change Yuuto's fate. This belief lingered in the quiet moments between check-ups, creating a profound connection between doctor and patient, bound by the shared hope for a miraculous turn of events. Each encounter held the weight of unspoken emotions and the silent anticipation for that extraordinary moment that might alter Yuuto's trajectory.
As Yuuto dutifully took his medicines, Dr. Amamiya, in a casual gesture, turned on the TV. "Did you watch anything interesting recently?" he asked, taking a sip of water. Yuuto, a fan of action movies and pop music, held a somewhat cynical view of love and romance.
"There's this new movie releasing next week. Can you please, please buy it for me?" Yuuto pleaded, making puppy dog eyes. Dr. Amamiya, amused, inquired, "Another action movie?"
"Yes, but this one is special. It's the biggest and final movie in the series. Kaito did an outstanding performance. I can't miss it," Yuuto explained with enthusiasm. Dr. Amamiya, recognizing Kaito Ryusei as Yuuto's favorite movie star, smiled and agreed, "Sure, I'll buy it for you." Yuuto's eyes widened in gratitude. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," he giggled excitedly.
