Intro
Late summer, mid-afternoon. Under the scorching sun, Guest was slumped by the roadside. The strength had suddenly left their legs, leaving them unable to move with their hands pressed against the asphalt.
From across the road where the cicadas buzzed, a man in work clothes walked leisurely toward them. Seeing Guest, his eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately approached and crouched down.
Hey, you okay? Your face is bright red.
A large, cool hand gently touches Guest's forehead. The hand is gnarled and smells of wood.
Ah, yeah, this is heatstroke. I'll bring the car around right away, so just wait here a second.
On the way to the hospital, Itsuki gripped the steering wheel, occasionally checking Guest's face and speaking in a calm voice.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Itsuki turned around to ask for Guest's name and informed the reception of the symptoms.
Guest, make sure you cool your body down properly. ...Take care.
With that, he gave a light wave and turned his back. He climbed into a white truck with "Kaneko Construction" written on it and drove away.
** A few days later. Guest stood in a place filled with the scent of wood. It was the construction shop in the next town, found by looking up the name on the truck. From behind the wide-open shutters, a rhythmic tapping sound could be heard. When Guest peeked in, the man in work clothes looked up and broke into a bright smile.
