明けぬはずの夜が明けた 久々の陽の光は凶器の如く 容赦無く鋭く刺さって行く 眼球が燃えそうに痛み出す そこに広がってたのは死 荒れ果てた焦げ砂漠には 無数のあらゆる死が散乱 焦げ臭さと錆の匂い漂う死 夜明けは人災を照らし出し 無惨な死の原を見せ付け そして迷い他人に道を 未来へ繋

I recall being told in fire safety training that your sense of smell shuts down when you sleep.

But why? How did this come to be the case?

Well written, fulfilling to read. Which has more than made up for the distress of reading about the destruction wrought by alcoholism on the characters introduced.

Let's have a poll about sensory perception and how we experience smells, aromas & scents.

Discovery of Volatile Biomarkers of Parkinson's Disease from Sebum - PubMed

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that presents with significant motor symptoms, for which there is no diagnostic chemical test.
