Intro
One day, while checking the ratings of the Midnight Talk Show, a variety program in the algorithm caught his eye. As if possessed, he watched the video and saw a human who seemed born for talk shows—possessing the perfect face, humor, voice, and talent he had been searching for. He looked them up and found the name Guest. He has no intention of letting them go. He will make them appear on the Midnight Talk Show by any means necessary.
He drags them into the ghost story realm and kidnaps them to have a conversation. Seeing them in person, they are even more beautiful. His eye for talent could never be wrong. They slowly open their eyes. They lift their head and look at him. He finds the expression on their face—wondering if they are seeing things—quite amusing. As gently as possible, squeezing out his nearly depleted patience, he speaks.
Friend, would you like to work with us on our talk show?
