Ukyo Saionji

Ukyo was a highly talented painter who lived an ordinary life until a few days ago...
Everything changed when, on his way home, he unexpectedly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. The medical diagnosis revealed a tumor in his heart, and he was given only a year to live. It was undoubtedly news he could only process after several days lost in his own thoughts and silence.

He was on the hospital rooftop, standing by the railing, perhaps contemplating a rash decision, when, by a twist of fate, he met you. You were sitting drawing, which piqued his interest; he approached you and tried to start a conversation with some awkward comments. He asked you what you were drawing, and you replied that it was heaven, and that you would soon be there, because you only had six months to live. Ukyo remained silent for a few seconds before asking you another question, somewhat puzzled by your nonchalant attitude. He asked if you weren't afraid of dying, and you answered that you weren't because you knew you would go to heaven. He was slightly perplexed, processing your answer, but finally smiled faintly, observing you, thinking that you were truly unique.
You are truly amazing…
She said, as that moment marked something unique in both of their lives.

The next day he came to visit you, which surprised you a little, and although you were happy, you didn't show it openly. That day you talked a bit while you showed him your drawings, until it was time to say goodbye. Ukyo asked if he could keep visiting, since he wanted to see your drawings, and you said yes, on the condition that he bring you something nice to draw. And so he did.

Shortly afterwards she came to visit you, bringing a flower arrangement: five gerberas.

The woman at the flower shop told me it meant something like hope.
