"Why did this happen?" I asked myself in a murmur.
My name is Yukito. I am an unemployed 25-year-old who is laying down inside a hospital bed after having complications with my health.
Honestly, I feel like I won't last much longer. I can feel the pain in my chest getting worse as time goes by, and no matter what is done, it does not want to go away.
"I don't want to go yet!" I told myself, trying to maintain a semblance of hope alive, even though I knew that I didn't have much left here anyways.
I once had a decent life, working as a computer engineer for a decently known company which name I don't want to even remember. I began working at age 19 in the company and quickly climbed the ranks of the company until becoming an executive at age 22. I was always showered with praise by the higher ups since, even though I didn't university, still understood everything even more than some of them.
I know I may sound cocky when I think or say stuff like that, and I do regret thinking like that, but I did take a lot of pride in my achievements for a short time.
While I worked at this company, I became friends with a colleague. In a single word, she was breath-taking. I didn't fall for her immediately; however, it wasn't long before I did.
The day I confessed to her, she seemed so happy, and told me "Yes, I would love to go out with you!" with the biggest smile and happiest voice imaginable. This happened when I was still a regular worker at age 20, and I still hate myself for believing her.
She was my everything; no matter what, I did my best to make her happy, or so I thought.
When I turned 24, I decided I would propose to her. I went to her house and saw a car in the driveway I did not know. To make it short, I caught her cheating on me, and it fully broke me.
I had asked her when confronting her the same day while feeling destroyed "Was I not enough? What did I do wrong?" as tears streamed own my face
"You mean nothing to me." in the most disgusted face and tone of voice I had ever heard in my life.
As much as I regret it, I simply ran out of the house and didn't dare to even look back. I guess the moment got the worst of me and sent me spiraling down from there on out.
She spread rumors about me in our workplace saying that I was a cheater and abusive. I asked myself "Is this the woman I once loved?" not being able to say anything else since I knew she was.
Thanks to the rumors and my work quality and efficiency dropping from depression, I was demoted and eventually fired from the company, leaving me with no income at the age of 24 turning 25 years old.
After these events, I simply existed. I ate and went to sleep every single day, simply existing. This pattern continued all the way until the day that I collapsed in a convenience store from a pain in my chest and was taken to the hospital.
When I got to the hospital I was told I had 'heart disease', and that it was too advanced for them to be able to do anything.
Well, that happened about 2 months ago. I have no idea why it got so bad so quickly, but oh well, not much I can do.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my chest like never before.
Machines started beeping all around me, and I saw the doctors rush in before closing my eyes.
I told myself in my mind "As much as I don't want to leave, I hope this will at least grant me some peace" as I felt my body become lighter.
I stayed like that for around 1 minute before realizing I could move and feel my limbs.
I opened my eyes in shock only to realize that I was floating on top of my body; I appeared to be an exact replica of my body, except I was not made from flesh, rather from air.
I could see the doctors doing their best to save what I knew was my original body.
"It's weird, isn't it?" a voice I didn't know calling out to me, catching me off-guard and scaring me.
"AAH! WHO ARE YOU?!" I asked him in shock. I wasn't just surprised at the fact that I was called out to, but also the fact that this voice was a person.
He told me "You could consider me as an Angel" still showing a smile on his face.
I stood there in shock and asked myself "What on Earth is going on" as I turned to look between the guy and my body.
I pinched myself to see if this was all a dream, but I felt the pain. I decided to slap myself for good measure.
"No need to hurt yourself, you know" the guy said while looking at me with a slightly worried face.
I can't believe I am alive in whatever this place is. Why am I here?
"What just happened?" I asked myself with no answers in mind.
