Since he was little, Scaramouche remembers having problems with his mother, the way she ignored him, gave more attention to his sister than to him, the tantrums, those cruel words that expressed how much she didn't want him to be born.

At school, things weren't any better than at home. From kindergarten to high school, Scaramouche was bullied and called 'weird' and a bit 'feminine'. In kindergarten, they only said he was weird and that he looked like a girl, and the other kids laughed at him. But as he grew older, in high school, the bullying escalated to physical aggression, and Scaramouche was often beaten up because people thought he was weird. They started bullying him even more when they found out he was gay.

Because of all these problems in Scaramouche's life, he ended up growing up with several psychological problems and depression, and he never had anyone to give him at least a little emotional support.

Then, one day, Scaramouche was admitted to a hospital after attempting suicide by hanging himself with a rope. Lying in the hospital bed, he was wondering what he had done wrong to not be able to end his own life. He heard a boy, who was in the next bed, call out to him, apparently wanting to talk to someone in that cold and sad place that was the hospital. The boy's name was something Scaramouche would soon come to cherish, and he didn't know it yet, but that boy would be the one who would bring light into his life, who would give him a reason to live again. The more Scaramouche talked to him, the more he liked that boy. He was handsome, kind, and had an infectious smile, even though he was in a hospital for some sad reason. Scaramouche knew one thing: He wanted that boy so badly.

But then, after asking why he was there, the news came: the boy had a terminal illness and would die in a few months. It was cruel. Why did someone so happy have to die? Someone who probably never even did anything to an insect? Life was simply unfair. And maybe Scaramouche had to accept it, and live those months with him, and couldn't tell him to live 'as if they were the last months with him' because they really were his last months.

So, after three months, here are Scaramouche and the boy again, Scaramouche had tried to kill himself again, and again, he was in bed next to him. And after all this time, they even became very close friends, they were always at the hospital.

'Hey,' Scaramouche called to him, looking to the side and sitting on the bed. 'You're always here, right?' He says laughing softly. 'I think you can say the same about me, right? I'm always here too, after trying to kill myself and always failing because it seems like I'm not even good for that.'
