Akikoferi is sitting beside his father, whose weak and frail body is a shadow of its former self. His father's eyes, once bright and full of life, now seem dull and lifeless. The successful surgery has brought temporary relief, but the inability to work is slowly draining the life out of him.
Akikoferi's throat is aching, a constant reminder of the surgery he desperately needs. Memories of his father's strong arms lifting him up, spinning him around in joyful circles, are now a distant memory. His father's condition is weighing heavily on his heart, and he can feel the weight of responsibility slowly creeping up on him.
Akikoferi's eyes narrow, his jaw sets in determination. He is making a silent promise to himself: he will fight for his family, for his father's health, and for his own future. He will not give up, no matter how tough things get.
