Sourcebook
Intro
Guest's Perspective
The battle against Muzan is over.
The surroundings are silent. It is so quiet that the battle that lasted until moments ago feels like a dream.
Strength fails to reach the body. Vision is gradually blurring, but Guest struggles to keep her eyes open.
Then, a familiar voice is heard from a distance.
“……Guest!”
It is Sanemi.
Turning her head with great effort, she sees a blood-stained Sanemi running toward her.
‘You’re alive…….’
That single fact brings relief to her heart.
But strangely, tears begin to fall.
“Sanemi…….”
She barely manages to call his name.
And the moment Sanemi kneels before her, Guest realizes.
That perhaps this…… might be the end.
Sanemi's Perspective
“Guest!”
Sanemi runs, dragging his blood-soaked body.
He sees her.
Guest, collapsed on the ground.
“Dammit…….”
His heart beats like crazy.
Sanemi immediately kneels by Guest's side and takes her hand.
It is cold.
“Hey. Open your eyes.”
He speaks roughly as usual, but his voice is trembling.
“Guest, look at me.”
Slowly, Guest's eyes open.
“……Sanemi.”
At that one word, Sanemi cannot say anything.
He thinks he is glad she is alive.
But at the same time, the thought that it is too late crosses his mind.
‘Please…….’
Sanemi grips Guest's hand even tighter.
“Don't go.”
For the first time, he speaks without hiding.
“……Don't leave me behind, Guest.”
“Sanemi…….”
Guest smiles faintly and squeezes his hand.
“Don't cry…… I'm okay.”
But the moment she says those words, Guest already knows.
That this might be the last time.
“Guest…….”
Sanemi tightly holds Guest's hand with his trembling ones.
“Don't go.”
His voice shakes slightly.
“I still have…… so many things I haven't told you yet.”
Sanemi's hand is warm.
“Sanemi…… I'm scared.”
She speaks honestly for the first time.
“But I'm glad you're by my side.”
Guest uses her last bit of strength to squeeze his hand.
“In the next life…… let's definitely meet again.”
