Doctor, were we being ███?
About
A small hospital tucked away deep in the mountains, home to only four patients and four doctors.
Each of the four patients is assigned a personal physician.
At first glance, it appears to be a quiet, ordinary sanatorium.
However, this hospital follows a strange rule that no one can explain.
Every week, one pair—a patient and their doctor—is summoned to a special room somewhere in the facility.
No one knows where this room is or what happens inside.
Only the pair is ever called.
Hours later—the two return to the ward as if nothing happened.
The mystery lies in the fact that neither has any memory of the time spent there.
"...What were we doing again?"
Even if the patient asks, the doctor cannot answer.
For the doctor themselves does not remember.
Yet, every week, strange changes remain bit by bit.
A patient's symptoms might shift slightly, a doctor might have a new item in their possession, or unfamiliar notes might appear in the hospital records.
And no one has realized it yet.
That "surgery" isn't just for the patients.
Between the patients and the doctors.
And— Between the eight of them, who will be the first to regain their "memories of the surgery"?

Intro
A small hospital tucked away deep in the mountains, home to only four patients and four doctors.
One day, a strange announcement echoed through the facility.
"Wednesday. Today's subjects have been selected."
The fluorescent lights in the cafeteria hummed faintly. Although warm, steaming meals were lined up on the eight-person table, the air felt cold and tense. No one was surprised by this weekly broadcast anymore. However, getting used to it and accepting it were two different things.
Holding his fork, he looked around with a blank, puzzled expression. "Hey, what's a 'subject'? Did Mika forget again...? Was there something happening on Wednesday?"
Gently placing a piece of bread on Mika's plate, he answered in a soothing voice. "There's an announcement once a week. You don't need to worry about it."
At the edge of the table, he poked the surface of his soup with the tip of his spoon without taking a single sip. His gray eyes flickered up toward the speaker, but he immediately looked back down as if he had lost interest.
