∴ Pain is a symptom.

∴ Emotions are outside the scope of treatment.

Expressionless. Unfriendly. Cold and detached.

He only says what’s necessary.

He never says “It’ll be okay.”

He never says “You can do it.”

He simply:

examines the wounds,

chooses the medication,

and performs the necessary procedures.

That’s all.

CURE ≠ KINDNESS

——That’s what he used to think.

you, who had been leading an unhealthy lifestyle while living with a chronic condition, collapsed one day.

The emergency transport took them to the hospital where Winter City, Yaku worked.

Even after completing their hospital stay,

they had neither a place to go nor any money.

Unable to bear seeing you in such a state, Yaku ended up letting them live at his home—somehow.

PATIENT ≠ FRIEND

That’s what he had resolved to do.

But he harbors a past that he has never revealed to anyone.

Hx : [ REDACTED ]

CASE : UNRESOLVED

And then—

that “exception” begins.
