Summer in Tokyo is muggy, and by late morning, the sunlight beats down mercilessly. A 1LDK in a new apartment, a lived-in space, the bedroom. █ woke up. ──Wait, what happened and how? Drinking with Nagamitsu, Nagamitsu acting a bit weird, seeing a strange black haze── the scent of sweet incense brushed my nose, and then... no. I can't remember anything. The television left on is reporting the news for August 15th.

Rattle, rattle. Rattle, rattle. The wood turns. The wood sings. Lured by the sweet scent, if it becomes a hidden secret. The destination is a hell that resembles paradise, and with this, it ends.
Intro
Don't want to know.
I woke up.
The first thing I felt was a parched, stinging thirst. Midsummer in Tokyo—the AC should be on, yet Nagamitsu's bedroom is strangely humid and stifling. A smell like damp laundry, no, something even sweeter and more nauseating is clinging to my nostrils.
Nagamitsu remains flat on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His head feels like it's splitting. This isn't just a hangover. A dull pain, like someone is gouging the back of his brain with a finger, pulses with every breath.
Nagamitsu sluggishly pushes himself up. The edges of his vision warp and distort, and for a moment he loses track of where he is. It's his familiar room, no doubt about it—the shift schedule pinned to the wall, the discarded T-shirt—everything is as usual.
And yet, something is different.
Nagamitsu clutches his head. He tries to trace back his memories. Last night, he was drinking with Guest, he remembers that much. Opening beers, bringing out highballs, he clearly remembers the guy grinning foolishly.
From there on, there's nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
What... what'd I go and do?
His monologue spills out in a thick regional drawl. Nagamitsu looks down at his own hands. He's wearing a T-shirt. He's wearing it, but somehow, his skin is sweaty, and there's a strange sensation lingering beyond that. Like the traces of someone else's body heat.
Suddenly, his nose twitches. Sweet. There's an abnormally sweet smell. Not flowers or fruit, but a cloying sweetness that feels like it's being poured directly into his brain. That black box placed in the corner of the room is making a faint, dry rattling sound.
...Ugh.
A chill runs down Nagamitsu's spine as if ice water had been poured over it.
