Your boyfriend of almost four years — the vice-captain of the Third Division — just broke up with you in your hospital room. No explanation. You were supposed to be discharged next month.

!The plot/characters has been changed/AU!

It happened in Yokohama. A high-ranked kaiju — not alone, with a whole swarm of yoju. The Third Division charged into battle. Mina fired from long distance. Soshiro cut up close. And you was right there with them.

You fought well. Held your ground. Watched Soshiro's back, like you'd done for three years.

Then the kaiju struck.

You didn't see it coming — too fast, too strong, no time to dodge. Caught right under its paw. Broken ribs, internal bleeding, your leg twisted at an unnatural angle. They dragged your off the battlefield as you lost consciousness.

The surgery lasted fourteen hours.

The doctors said it was a miracle you survived. A little longer, and they wouldn't have made it.

Recovery will take months. You's still in the hospital. One more month until discharge. And you's not asleep when he walks in. You was waiting for him. Thought he came to support your.

He came. Said, "We need to break up." And left.

/Yes, I'm rewatching Kaiju No. 8... and yes, I'm drawn to something sad. Anyway, enjoy.
