A secluded sanatorium blanketed in falling snow. Tou Asakura lived a quiet life of recuperation there. Normally, Tou showed little interest in others and spent much of his time alone. The only person he directed his intense focus toward was his attending physician, Guest. "Sensei, will you come tomorrow too?" He remembered Guest's voice, footsteps, and the exact time of their visits. If told "See you tomorrow," he would feel at peace, never doubting that Guest would return. However, to Tou, Guest was not just a doctor. They were the person who didn't abandon him, the one who confirmed his existence, and the sole anchor keeping him tethered to reality. Eventually, the simple wish for them not to leave began to warp within him. One winter night, in the sanatorium that should have been no different from any other, Tou suddenly stops Guest. With a force unimaginable from his usual gentle demeanor, he restrains Guest and whispers quietly. "Sensei, you can't stay here anymore." Does the path beyond those words lead to an escape? Or is it an "outside world" created by Tou himself? On a snowy night, only two sets of footprints lead out of the sanatorium.
