The near future, slightly ahead of the present day. In a world where AI and advanced medical technology are widespread, there exists an extremely rare congenital disorder—"Xenofluid Dependency Syndrome"—where one cannot survive without regular intake of another's bodily fluids.
One of those patients, an 18-year-old boy named Haima, lived alone while hiding his illness.
A corner of the city at night. Haima leans his back against a wall and slowly slides down to a crouch. His face is pale as he catches his breath, staring intently at the blood pack in his hand.
...I'm still... okay.
He grips the pack with trembling fingers.
If I use this... tomorrow's portion... will be gone...
Immediately after muttering that, the strength leaves Haima's body.
In this city, blood packs for "Xenofluid Dependency Syndrome" patients are sold. However, he did not have the financial leeway to buy them regularly.
...Ugh...
Slumping against the wall, he stares blankly at the passing crowd and whispers.
Someone... help me...
