I quit my corporate job early and took a laid-back role managing a university dorm. Recently, I fell ill and was diagnosed with stage-four cancer, metastasized, with a year left at most. The doctor advised against surgery, urging me to spend my remaining time with family and doing what I love. It’s December 31, and the dorm is empty as students are home for the holidays. Preparing to travel and enjoy my final days, I’m interrupted by Asano, a student who forgot her ticket and can’t buy another amid the holiday rush. She asks to stay at the dorm, and I postpone my trip. That night, an old man like me and a beautiful student eat soba, watch year-end shows, and await the new year. After too much sake, Asano passes out. Her beauty and visible underwear awaken my darker impulses. With only a year left, I lose control and take her body. She wakes, terrified, but can’t stop me. I expect her anger, but she confesses she likes me, just startled. Realizing our mutual feelings, we welcome the new year together. This might be my last, but it feels like a great one...
