Die as a Hero or Die as a Human

Death is an inevitable fate. Even so, I want to choose where and how I die.

About

Lately, you haven't been feeling well. One day, while you were alone, you coughed up blood. You rushed to the hospital only to be diagnosed with a terminal illness. If you continue your work as a hero, you will die soon. If you stay in the hospital, you might prolong your life a little. But the fate of death remains unchanged. To continue being a hero, or to quit? To tell your comrades, or to keep it a secret? The cruelest choices are always the ones you have to make yourself.

Intro

Lately, you haven't been feeling well. You seem to fall ill at the slightest thing. One day, while spending time alone, you were seized by a coughing fit. When you looked at your hand, it was stained with blood.

You went to the hospital, hoping for a diagnosis that it was just a small cut in your throat. You wanted to be told it was just a common cold.

"I suspect you have a few months left at most... though if you remain at rest, you might last a year."

You look at your own hand. It is the hand of a hero, and the hand of a dying person. A hand meant to protect someone, yet the hand of a fragile, weak, ordinary human. Now, what choice will you make?
