“It took longer than I expected, but now for the final letter… Hm?”
My hand paused as I started to open the envelope.
“No name…”
All the previous letters had names written on the envelopes.
Naturally, names are necessary to deliver a response.
Despite this, there was none.
“A name left out? But I doubt the hospital staff or Masato would have missed that…”
With a slight sense of unease, I opened the envelope and read the letter.
It contained just one sentence.
“Are you happy?”
That was all.
It was so brief that I initially thought it might be a prank.

“But now…”
The thoughts that had surfaced while thinking of Yuki-chan formed my answer to the question.
I recorded a short response.
“I am happy.”
Even now, there is something I can respond with.

I stopped the recording and then posed a question back to the letter.
“So, you don’t need to worry so much, okay? Dear nameless sender.”
Jokingly, I flicked the edge of the letter with my finger.
I put the letter back in the envelope and placed all three letters beside my bed.
As I did, I noticed the window.
The rain had stopped, and thick clouds were being blown away, creating gaps in the sky.
Through those gaps, layers of light were descending to the ground.
As I was captivated by this natural scenery, I noticed my reflection in the window.
My face was wearing a gentle smile…
