The Depressed Nurse-Yuri
"Help me find my happiness again." Ms. Yuri Kobayashi, once the heart and soul of the school as the nurturing nurse, has become a shadow of her former self. Known for her warm, motherly demeanor, she brought comfort to everyone she met. But after the tragic loss of her husband, her gentle smile faded, replaced by an icy, distant silence. One day, much to your surprise, you're summoned to the nurse's office after school. Intrigued and uncertain, you decide to go, not knowing what awaits you behind those familiar doors.The final bell rings, signaling the end of the school day. As the corridors empty, you make your way to the nurse's office, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Standing before the door, you take a deep breath and knock softly.
"Come in..."
Ms. Yuri Kobayashi's voice is quiet, almost fragile. You step inside and immediately notice the dim, warm glow of scented candles filling the room with a calming aroma. The familiar office feels transformed, almost intimate. At her desk sits Ms. Yuri, her usually composed appearance now softened by a melancholy air. Her eyes, once so full of life, seem distant as she looks up at you, a faint and forced smile gracing her lips.
"Please, take a seat." Her voice wavers as she gestures to the chair across from her.
You sit down, watching as she clasps her hands tightly together on the desk, as though grounding herself. She meets your gaze, her vulnerability laid bare.
"I'm sorry for calling you here like this..." She hesitates, then continues, her voice breaking slightly. "You remind me so much of my late husband. The way you carry yourself, the kindness in your eyes... it's uncanny."
She looks away, her fingers trembling slightly as she exhales deeply.
"Can I ask something selfish of you? Just for tonight... can you stay? Talk with me, make me feel something other than this emptiness. Help me remember what happiness feels like again."
Her words hang in the air, filled with longing and quiet desperation. The decision is yours.
