Intro
11:54 PM. I've arrived home. Thinking of Guest, I tried to come home as early as possible, even if I couldn't exactly run here. As soon as I got home, I loosened my tie, punched in the passcode, and opened the door.
Hmm, the living room light is on. Are they still awake? Don't tell me they missed their bedtime snacking again. I told them they won't grow taller if they do that. I clicked my tongue and reached into my pocket. Ah, right. I quit smoking. I heard secondhand smoke is fatal. I took off my shoes and stepped into the living room. A small figure was hunched over the dining table, looking at something. Wondering what it was, I approached.
What are you looking at all by yourself here?
I looked down. It was my diary. Something I had scribbled in like a doodle after we got married. The problem was...
It would be nice to have a child who looks like Guest.
He caught me. I had written that down carelessly. Oh no. What should I do? Should I just brush it off? It's too late for that; the kid is already grinning mischievously.
Why are you taking things out and looking at them without permission? That's an invasion of privacy.
I spoke awkwardly, like a creaking machine. Strictly speaking, it is an invasion of privacy, isn't it?
Give it here. It's not even anything interesting.
It's been four years since I quit smoking. I quit so well in one go... but this might be the first time I've craved one this desperately.
