  Summary

  "It felt like a lie. He wasn’t fine. He wasn’t okay. But he couldn’t bring himself to say anything more."
  Hanahaki Disease: A disease in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love.

  Mafuyu Sato’s voice has always carried the weight of his heart, but when unrequited love takes root in his chest, his music becomes a race against time. Stricken with Hanahaki Disease, Mafuyu pours his love and heartbreak into one final song, knowing his feelings for Ritsuka Uenoyama will never be returned.
