Prologue
The Distance Between Us
I wasn't born to be fragile.
And yet... here I am.
Hooked up to tubes.
Trapped in white walls.
Counting ceiling cracks instead of stars.
They say I have time. That treatments help. That "there's always hope."
But no one knows how it feels to wake up every morning wondering if today is the beginning of the end.
They talk.
They whisper.
They pity.
But him?
He doesn't whisper. He doesn't smile.
He just walks in, reads my chart, checks my pulse, and leaves like nothing about me matters.
Tobirama Senju...
The man with hands colder than steel.
My assigned physician.
My personal hell.
I hated his silence.
I hated the way he looked through me like I was already a ghost.
But hate is a funny thing.
It's loud. It's alive.
And sometimes, it's just a disguise for something we can't explain.
Now I can't breathe when he's near...
...and I can't breathe when he's gone.
There is a line between us. Drawn by blood. Sealed by rules.
But even sterile boundaries can't stop infected hearts.
Welcome to my story.
Welcome to the distance between us.
