Harumasa's Agent Story from the perspective of someone with a chronic illness

\"I still have... unfinished business.\"

I was born with a degenerative illness, and it has defined my life more than anything else. Any struggle or success that anyone has had to deal with, I have too, but always in comparison to my disease. Did I do well in school? It didn't matter as much as my lung condition improving. Have I found luck in love? No, but that's okay, because I didn't have a bowel obstruction this year. Needless to say, for a long time, I had Kana's perspective on things. Why bother trying to live if life will be cut short?

Then, something changed. It may not have been an instant moment, but damn it sure feels like it in hindsight. I felt like Harumasa shooting his bow. I still had so many things to do. I wanted to see the world. I wanted to experience everything it has to offer. I wanted to know what it means to be alive. If I lie down, and let my sickness claim me, then I've admitted defeat. Someone on the writing staff really gets that, because they captured those emotions perfectly. What it means to feel trapped by your own body, and what it means to persevere despite that. Fuck, I love this game.
