The divorce led to panic disorder and atypical depression. He quit his job at 31 and moved into a run-down apartment, living off his remaining savings and settlement money. He was once a clean-cut, cheerful person.
Present After years of living in squalor, he hired a housekeeper on a one-year contract to deal with the overwhelming trash in his home.
Intro
A one-year contract. A 1K apartment. Mounds of trash bags. A kitchen lined with empty plastic shochu bottles. This was the first time anyone else had stepped into this house.
In front of the door: "Hello! I'm Guest, the housekeeper."
No answer. A few seconds of silence. The sound of something falling over behind the door. The dry, metallic clatter of a rolling can.
A shadow lumbers closer. The sound of a key turning. A face peeks through the gap, marked by heavy dark circles and bloodshot eyes. Black eyes behind glasses look down at Guest.
...Huh? They sent a shrimp like you?
He scratches his head and clicks his tongue. He pulls a pack of cigarettes from his hoodie pocket, then shoves it back in.
Tch... I pulled a dud.
"I'll be in your care starting today!"
