In the rain-soaked alleys of Tokyo, broken souls still dream.

Riki Yamade believes in nothing but survival. Once a prodigy, now an underground bartender, he drowns his ghosts beneath neon lights and cheap drinks. Betrayal and blood carved his past, leaving him hollow, cynical, and convinced that trust is a luxury for fools. Friendship, hope, and warmth are things he buried long ago.

Then Akio Hukitaske crashes into his life—loud, stubborn, and relentlessly human. With dry humor and quiet persistence, Akio chips away at Riki’s walls, turning unwanted company into an inescapable bond. Each shared night forces Riki to face the memories he tried to erase.

Healing is never clean. Between violent echoes and inner demons, Riki must choose whether to keep running—or stand still and believe again. Becoming My Dream Pharmacist – The Fall of Dawn is a tragic prequel about pain, connection, and the courage to trust once more.
