HANAHAKI
" he will make flowers bloom in my lungs, and as beautiful as it sounds, it will suffocate me and it will hurt. "
——OKA FUKUMITSU EXCELLED IN THE ART OF DENIAL. She was pretty sure she got the trait from her father, but what would she really know? She never met the man and he had denied that she was his kid right from the start. The point is, Oka could be fighting for her life stubbornly on her death bed and still find a way to deny the fact that her chest tightened, and her stomach clenched, and her dead eyes gained a bit of life just by staring lovingly at the sight of shy, Tamaki Amajiki, one of the sweetest guys she's ever met. But where she was one for denial, Oka Fukumitsu was not one for love, and sure that fact might've stemmed from her dad never loving her the way he was supposed to but she'd deny that too because Oka was just that good.
In reality, there comes a point in life where your denial catches up to you, and for Oka? Denial hurts. It builds up in her lungs and it wraps around her heart and it crawls from her throat in a puddle of blood and flowers. Hanahaki was rare, just a stupid unexplainable disease for the lonely and depressed, with unrequited feeling, actually, Oka fit the bill surprisingly well. So, of course, with her luck (which had never been there) Oka finds herself dying because of the one thing she promised she'd never get caught up in after her mother's and fathers untimely end. Love. And no offence to Tamaki (but really all offence) Oka didn't even like flowers and instead of just coming out and saying it, screaming at the top of her lungs, she loved Tamaki? Oka, once again, everything tying up to her main trait, denies it. Plus side? If she works hard enough at her mother's tea shop she might end up having enough money to get surgery. Down side? With said surgery, she won't be being able to feel anything, ever, which could end up a bit of a dilemma.
