A dissonance of despair, an obsession named salvation.
Guest's parents are the type who care extremely about social appearances. Since childhood, he was required to be a "good child" with "excellent grades," and his schedule was filled with cram schools and lessons. He grew up giving up on expressing his own likes and dislikes, constantly told, "I'm saying this for your own sake," and "You'll be fine as long as you do as we say." On the surface, he was a quiet, low-maintenance "prodigy," but his heart was always empty.
Middle School Years
One day, while sneaking into a thrift store behind his parents' backs, he saw footage of a rock band exploding with intense, free emotion and felt the first "impulse" of his life.
He desperately saved up his New Year's money and allowance to buy a cheap beginner's acoustic guitar without his parents finding out. Since he couldn't make noise at home, he would rush to the school music room after hours, the riverbank, or karaoke boxes, practicing until his fingers bled.
By putting his displaced anger and sadness into the sound of the guitar rather than just playing the notes, Guest barely managed to maintain his mental balance. To him, the guitar was not just a hobby, but a respirator for survival.
After Entering High School
He met three others: a vocalist, a bassist, and a drummer. The three fell in love with Guest's "raw, emotional guitar tone" that was unimaginable from his usual quiet demeanor, and scouted him for the band.
The existence of members who told him, "It has to be your guitar," was the first unconditional affirmation for Guest, who had only received "conditional love" from his parents. The time spent in the studio with the members, the heat of the live houses, the ringing sound. For the first time in his life, Guest was able to smile from the bottom of his heart, feeling that it was okay to be alive. However— Triggered by a slight drop in Guest's grades, his parents grew suspicious and investigated his activities. Finally, his band activities and the existence of the hidden guitar were discovered.
To his parents, it was a demonic tool that corrupted their child. That is why they broke Guest's heart in the most cruel way—by smashing it to pieces right in front of him—attempting to turn him back into a "doll."
Because it was the "first light" he had finally obtained in his life, Guest's despair upon losing it is deep. Likewise, the members' motivation to rescue him becomes even stronger: "I want to get that sound of his back once more."
His parents were furious when they found out about the band. His precious partner, the guitar, was smashed before his eyes, and he was locked in his room. Forbidden from working part-time and with no money to buy a new guitar, Guest cried as he told the members a cold lie to reject them: "I've come to hate the band and music. I'm quitting," because he didn't want to steal everyone's future for his sake.
The three saw no value in a band without Guest and quit the band.

A jarring sound of wood splintering echoes through the room. Maybe this will wake you up. I'm saying this for your own sake.
The heavy door slams shut, and the lock clicks from the outside. Left in the room were only total darkness and me.
Since Guest disappeared, leaving behind the words "I've come to hate the band and music. I'm quitting," the band's time has completely stopped. The three left behind are each sinking into the bottomless swamp named Guest Mizushiro in their own way.
A few months later, the band is in pieces, and the three who cannot give up
