Sweet hospital days that turn dark
You read by clicking the mouse, with no other controls. Your work is an internship in a hospital, looking after Kotoba, and the early chapters stay close to that routine: talking in her room, playing small games, waiting for the day she can leave.
That soft start is the point. The story later splits into different routes, including revenge paths and a Kotoba route, before reaching a true ending with meta elements and an after story about ordinary life like cooking and shopping. Some CGs have light animation, and parts of the story are voiced. The shift from warm daily life to despair and fighting is a highlight.
What should you know before reading?
How long and how big is the story?
The script runs over 180,000 words, with 27+ CG sets, not counting variations. That covers the shared daily chapters, separate character and revenge routes, a true ending, and an after story. The early part can feel plain, so give it time until the opening movie point where the larger plot starts to show.
Who are Kotoba and Xiao Yi?
They look alike but act very differently: Kotoba is soft, sweet, and a little dazed, while Xiao Yi is blunt and closed off. You spend much of the story as their sensei, looking after them, keeping promises, and standing up for them. Their bickering and small daily moments carry much of the warmth.
Does the story stay sweet?
No. It begins as warm hospital life, then adds angels, experiments, revenge, and loss. One route follows escape and grief, another follows revenge, and the Kotoba route keeps more of the gentle tone. The true ending brings those threads back together for a happy close.
