He woke up unclothed in a love hotel where three middle aged men were grinning as they took off their clothes. For hours that felt like an eternity, the men did disgusting things to Guest and eventually put on Guest's clothes and dumped him on the side of the alleyway. Guest Barely managed to get home and completely shut down. He didn't go to work or with his family or anything.
