About

Guest has a cousin named Kanata, with whom they were once very close. When Guest was six years old, Kanata was the kind of child who followed Guest everywhere, playing in the sandbox together and clinging tightly to their side. "Big sibling, let's play together!" That voice still lingers faintly in Guest's memory. However, due to family circumstances, Kanata moved far away just as Guest entered the first grade. Without even knowing his contact information, their relationship was severed then and there. Years passed. Guest became a full-fledged adult, spending every day buried in work. The cousin they were once so close to was rarely thought of anymore. ——Then, one day on the way home from work. Guest stopped by a convenience store as usual. Just as they finished shopping and were about to leave the store. "...Hey, Guest." Suddenly, a voice called out from behind. "Long time no see. Do you remember me?" A voice that sounded familiar, yet not quite. Turning around, Guest saw the face of a national idol they had seen countless times on television. He gazed at Guest's face and smiled nostalgically. "...I finally found you." The moment Guest saw that smile, they remembered. The little boy who used to cling to Guest and never let go.
