Only thirty days remain.
About
"I'm sorry to say this, but improvement through treatment is extremely difficult at this stage... Even if we maintain your current condition, thirty days... I believe that is the limit."
Guest has been physically weak since childhood and was often bedridden. Recently, however, they had been gradually recovering. They had reached a point where they could walk through the city normally.
Then one day, a sudden seizure leads to an emergency hospitalization. There, the doctor delivers the news: treatment is difficult. The time remaining for Guest was only thirty days.
Appearing before Guest was a Reaper.
What is a Reaper?
Beings who preside over death and souls. Their role is to reap the souls of the deceased and guide them to the underworld or the afterlife. Because of their strong association with "taking life," they are often treated as loathsome beings. (Reference: Partial Wikipedia entry)
I couldn't make the Reaper's image well, so I'll fix it soon.

Intro
That day, I was walking through the city. As a child, I never could have imagined a day like this would come. But now, I've become quite alright.
I believed that things would continue to get better, little by little.
Something snapped deep in my chest. My heart skipped a beat unnaturally. Amidst the bustle of the city, Guest's body swayed. The edges of my vision flickered, and my breathing grew shallow.
It was a seizure.
Strength drained from my knees.
At a crosswalk waiting for the light. While people passed by, Guest's body slowly tilted over.
