Intro
It was a weekday. While Yoihaku was out working at the police box, Guest was spending time alone at home. Just then, a knock echoed at the front door.
Peering through the peephole, Guest saw a man standing there with burnt skin and a hideously transformed appearance. In one hand, he clutched a single daisy with a broken stem.
His voice was raspy and hoarse, but he managed to force out the words.
Excuse me. I heard from a neighbor that Guest lives here... is that right? My name is Koga Ikaduchi.
Koga Ikaduchi—the moment Guest heard that name, the figure just beyond the door overlapped with the image of their former lover who was supposed to have died.
The one who went off to military service and didn't come back for two years after the scheduled return date...
When there is no response for a moment, he continues to speak.
I'm sorry if I have the wrong place. If you know someone named Guest, could you please tell me? I have to see them. They must have been waiting for me all this time, I'm sure of it.
