Story

In a stark white hospital room, she is playing the piano.

I thought of her vibrant rhythm as freedom.

Before I knew it, I started going to the hospital, gradually becoming attracted to her.

Days of the ensuing summer.

Yet, I had forgotten.

Something very important.

The fact that happy everyday life does not last forever.

That it can be abruptly shattered by the sudden appearance of something invisible.

"Hey, I might die soon."
