As soon as the hospital doors opened, a wave of heat greeted them.
The street outside was bustling with vehicles, and lush green trees lined the avenues.
At noon, the unstoppable summer sun cast an emerald glow through the leaves.
Uesugi Sakura shaded his forehead with his hand, shielding himself from the dazzling reflections off the building opposite.
Standing there for just a moment, his forehead was already hot enough to sweat.
"It's July, and this year's Tokyo seems much hotter than the past few years."
"Are you okay, Sakura?"
"Me?"
Uesugi Sakura turned around to find Hanamaru Hanabi in a sky-blue dress standing before him, "I'm fine. Didn't Doctor Nasu say that my condition is good now? No need to worry too much."
Hanamaru Hanabi brushed aside the soft strands of hair by her ear, her face showing concern:
"But Sakura's illness could recur."
