Hallucination Pajamas

Warm sunlight streaming in through the window.
It looks like it's going to be a nice day today.
"Good morning. I came to wake you up, but you're already up, aren't you?"
It was my wife who opened the bedroom door to come wake me.
"Good morning. I just woke up."
"Perfect timing. Your friend is here."
"A friend?"
Still in my pajamas, I head to the entrance.
"Hey. You look like you're doing well."
Standing at the entrance was my best friend from junior high.
He's the only one I'm still in touch with now that we're working adults.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"I thought I'd check on you before heading to work."
"Check on me?"
"Your complexion has improved, and you're slowly getting back into shape. It must be thanks to those pajamas."
"What's that supposed to mean? You're talking like I'm a sick person."
"It's been half a year since that accident, but... you still can't go outside, huh? Well, I'll come by again."
With that, my friend left.
"What a strange guy... right?"
I turned around to say to my wife, but I was the only one in the house.

I participated in Tarahakani-san's project.
