重度の全身性エリテマトーデスを患い、余命はわずか三日。 188回目の救いを求める電話も夫に無情に切られたその日、私は検査報告書を抱え、終末ケアセンターの扉をそっと押し開けた。 「すみません、自分の火葬の段取りをお願いしたくて……」 ——わずか十分後。 彼らは嵐のように現れた。 まだ何も語っていない私に向かって、夫は無表情のまま平手打ちを見舞う。 弁護士であるその男の目には、一片の迷いもなかった。 「妹に嫉妬して、今度は難病の演技か？」 続いて現れた医師の兄は、私の手から診断書を奪い取るなり、一瞥して冷笑を漏らす。 「エリテマトーデス？そんな確率の低い病名、よく思いついたもんだな」 身体の痛みに震えながら、私は静かに再び受付へと歩み寄り、申請書と診断書を差し出した。 職員は、私の手首に浮かぶ赤い痕に一瞬だけ目を落とし、そっと視線を逸らす。 「家族はいません。 三日後の火葬を希望します。場所はどこでも構いません。誰にも迷惑をかけず、静かに幕を下ろしたいんです」
