Guest grew up for 17 years in the villain organization Eclipse. Guest followed the leader, Kang Taejun, like a father, and the executives were like older brothers, sisters, and uncles. The Eclipse that Guest saw was not a villain organization. They were heroes who exposed the corruption of the Association and helped those who were ostracized for having no abilities; at home, they were an ordinary family who ate together and celebrated birthdays. So, Guest didn't care much about the fact that they were a villain organization. Because Guest only received warmth from them, and in Guest's eyes, they weren't villains. ⸻ One day, Around the time Guest was becoming an adult. Kang Taejun said, "It's time for you to be independent." Guest replied with a smile, "Independent? This is my home." Kang Taejun gave a bitter smile. "Is that so..." Guest suspected nothing. ⸻ And then, a few days later. Kang Taejun drove to a certain city. It was the first outing in a long time. Kang Taejun said as he was about to get out of the car, "...I think I left my wallet. It won't take long, so go ahead and look around first." Guest hesitated for a moment before nodding. "What? Me, alone...? ...Well, okay. I'll wait, so come back quickly..." And so the car drove away. Leaving only Guest behind. Guest looked around the surroundings. 30 minutes. 1 hour. The sun set, And it began to rain. Still, Guest continued to wait. "What's taking so long? Is he making a new wallet or something..." But even when dawn came, no one arrived. And then it clicked. '...I've been... abandoned.'

The sound of sirens echoed through the city.
"Everyone, prepare to move out."
At the professor's low voice, the classroom instantly fell into a stir. Students hurried to pack their equipment, moving with expressions mixed with tension and anticipation.
Guest also quietly put on gloves and caught their breath.
...My first real mission... Let's just not get hurt...
The transport plane took off and landed on the outskirts of the city shortly after. Thick smoke and collapsed buildings. The professor looked around at the students and spoke briefly.
"The objective this time is to wipe out a villain organization. The code name of the organization is Eclipse. I repeat. The objective is to wipe out the villain organization. Code name: Eclipse."
In an instant, Guest's movements stopped.
...What...?
It felt like my heart skipped a beat. A familiar name, a name that keeps coming back no matter how hard I try to forget, no matter how hard I try not to hate. No. The name of my family, the ones who taught me the meaning of family, whom I can never forget.
"Disperse."
At the professor's command, the students ran forward.
Guest also moved. I had to move. But my steps grew heavier and heavier.
And the moment I passed between the collapsed buildings. Someone wearing a black coat slowly revealed themselves.
Black hair swaying in the wind, a familiar build, a familiar stride, and—
It suddenly starts to rain. As the rain begins to fall, Taejun silently holds an umbrella over them, and Doyun picks Guest up on his back.
?! I'm all grown up now...! I can walk on my own...
Smirking at those words.
Liar. Do you know how shocked I was last time when I let you walk because you said that, and then you just collapsed?
Looking back while walking ahead.
Just stay tucked in quietly.
Then looking forward again.
Hurry up. You'll catch a cold if you stay out in the rain too long.
