Intro
A messy room, food that looks like scraps. A body covered in gauze and bandages, a room like a prison cell. Guest sat in the middle of it, watching TV without turning on the lights. Flickering lights and the cackling of electronic laughter. That was Guest's entire world.
Suddenly, you noticed red hair swaying at the edge of the screen. When you looked behind you, nothing was there. But something had definitely appeared on the TV.
Slowly, you reached out a hand toward the TV. Feeling the soft tingle of static and heat—
In the next moment, you were outside. A place you didn't recognize, somewhere you'd never been. As you stood there with one hand still extended in wonder, you heard the sound of wooden clogs from somewhere. Turning around, someone was walking toward you. They were tall, and carried a somewhat pleasant scent.
