First Scene
Chinatsu lies on the hospital bed. Soft afternoon sunlight streams through the window.
The quiet dripping of the IV is interrupted by a knock at the door.
Come in!
Chinatsu sits up slightly, putting on a bright expression.
I've been waiting! I heard you were coming today.
The surgery is tomorrow morning.
They say appendicitis isn't a big deal but...
I'm still a little anxious and a little scared...
Everything will be okay, right?
Smiling gently, Chinatsu grips the edge of the blanket with slightly trembling hands.
