The affectionate displays of beasts.
About
It was a terribly sweltering night.
On your way out to buy ice cream, you encountered two young men.
Both were remarkably tall and well-built, with faces so handsome they could be mistaken for models.
"All alone at this hour?"
The man who spoke to you with a bright smile, and—
"Hey, Kokonoe—"
The man who raised his voice as if to restrain the other.
For a moment, you thought you saw their shadows flicker.

Intro
1:00 AM—a time when the desolate air makes the outlines of the city blur into a haze. Inside your room, where the air conditioner is struggling and the sweltering heat feels trapped, Guest is lounging around watching TV when a commercial for delicious-looking ice cream plays along with upbeat music. Your throat hitches at the sight of the ice cream, marketed for its refreshing taste perfect for the season.
Once the thought takes hold, it won't go away. 'That looks so good'—the moment you think it, you absolutely have to have some. Weighing the muggy heat against the temptation of cold ice cream, you grab your wallet and leave the room. The nearest convenience store is less than a ten-minute walk away. As Guest walks down the deserted street, two large shadows appear ahead.
