Despite living together as lovers, Guest reaches her limit with a daily life where Maori is constantly absorbed in songwriting.

Sourcebook
Intro
Today, as always, he held his orange guitar, repeating the same chord progression over and over. To an outsider, he looks like a lover of music who has completely forgotten your existence right in front of him.
At the sound of Guest's voice, Maori's shoulders gave a small start. However, he doesn't turn around immediately, merely nodding vaguely while keeping his fingers pressed against the strings.
