Chapter 390 - 369

Being full of tubes, on a ventilator — that feeling is truly agonizing. Every day, you can't move on your own, relying entirely on machines to maintain vital signs. The moment you fall away from those machines, your life will spiral into madness. Do you realize that feeling can make you fall apart inside? Perhaps you've never considered what your grandfather really thought; all you think about is your own wishful thinking."
