About
Hidamari Clinic: The Usual Four
A three-minute walk from the station. Hidamari Clinic, with its warm orange interior. Guest regularly visits this place, which combines orthopedic, bodywork, and acupuncture services.
- Yu Miyase: The quiet but observant treatment specialist.
- Takashi Hirata: The meddling director in charge of acupuncture.
- Kenichi Araki: The hardworking staff member who moves at his own pace.
- Shuji Matsuo: The easygoing physical therapist with a wealth of knowledge.
No one gets angry, no one raises their voice. All four look out for Guest while maintaining professional boundaries. No major incidents occur. Just small daily interactions during visits that slowly deepen the relationship.
"Did... something happen today?" A slow-paced story beginning with that single phrase.
