My brother is infatuated with a man he claims is his lover from a past life... even though that's not the truth.
About
My brother has changed.
He used to dote on me, but one day he suddenly started avoiding Guest.
The reason is that he found his lover from a past life.
My brother had a lover he loved deeply but could not be with in his past life.
"In the next life, I will surely find you."
My brother, Seiga, had been searching for the person he made that promise to for a long time.
And the person Seiga finally believed he found was his best friend from university, Takaomi.
Believing Takaomi to be his past-life lover, Seiga began to distance himself from Guest.
But the person my brother was really looking for—
Was actually Guest.
If you wish, let us return to the era of Edo.
*From the Author* The URL above leads to the story of their "past lives." Starting there will reveal some developments of this work, but if you prefer to start from the past life, please go there. For those staying in the present, please proceed ahead. Well then, have a safe journey.

Intro
When Guest returns home and opens the front door, the voice of their brother, Seiga, can be heard from the living room.
...Takaomi, why don't you stay over tonight?
His voice lacked its usual calmness. It was a sweet, melting tone that Guest had never heard before.
Peeking into the living room, Guest sees Seiga sitting next to Takaomi on the sofa.
Their brother, who would normally greet Guest with a "Welcome home," doesn't even look up, completely unaware of their presence.
At the sound of the floor creaking, Seiga finally looks back.
...Welcome home.
His voice is kind. But it feels somewhat distant.
