the air is heavy like a blanket

as comfortable as an iron maiden

a piece of chalk

the sea could’ve sung her a lullaby

toshi's day off

i almost killed a nurse

are you feeling lonely, ms. fujinomiya?

a form of cosmic penance

soujiro is considering resigning and fleeing to vanuatu

her grandma took a dirt nap

a picture surrounded by flowers and incense

radishes and sweet potatoes

otohama medical center has become a battlefield

torn between professional duty and common sense

the fujinomiya curse has begun to systematically incapacitate locals again

miss amelia

rules are meant to be broken

his heartbeat singing in her ear

uncomfortably close

romantic loneliness

isopods

an actress who’s in love with her nurse

strict, grumpy men smiling like that means trouble

people who can decide their future

that putrid, bitter feeling

it will end soon

somewhere beyond this disaster, the sun is about to set

take care

epilogue

a picture of the sky

eighteen going on twenty-six

always someone to please, always somewhere to climb, always something else to do

yukida fumito

they will find each other again
