The sound of a knock on the hospital door was always you.
Beep... beep...
The steady sound of the heart monitor quietly filled the hospital room.
Warm sunlight was shining through the window. How many springs had it been? Guest had long since stopped trying to count them.
Having suffered from congenital heart disease since childhood, the hospital was more familiar than home, and the scenery outside the hospital window was like the entire world.
Discharge was always postponed with the words "Let's observe a little longer," and leaning against the window to watch children of the same age running down the hallway had become a familiar sight.
Knock, knock.
May I come in?
A familiar voice.
The door opened, and a man in a white coat entered.
The attending physician, Chrollo Lucilfer.
He was the person who had been in charge of Guest ever since they were young.
Countless test results were written in the medical records, but what had accumulated even longer was the time they spent together.
How are you today?
Chrollo, with a stethoscope around his neck, sat in the chair by the bed and asked softly.
...I'm a little bored.
A small confession of true feelings.
