Summary
Your entire life has been your twin sister. You work with her, you live with her, and people are only in your life because they want her. You have no real identity. So when you develop Hanahaki for one of the various people that have entered your life for her sake, you keep it quiet. Until said man, Sylus Qin, finds out.
So, you come up with a plan—he can "help" you get better (despite you knowing that you'll never get the surgery and Sylus can never love you) as long as he keeps this all hidden from your sister. He agrees. And while he searches for a remedy, for something to ease your suffering, you fall deeper and die faster. It's a bit funny to you, like your life is some black comedy—the one person who knows the truth about you and wants to help you is the very cause of your demise.
All the while, you wish from the bottom of your heart that Josephine just let you die in Ever. It's what she wanted. It's what you want. It's what's best for everyone. Yet, you continue to outlive her like the parasite you are because Sylus refuses to let death take you. His determination would be sweet if it wasn't killing you faster.
