...Did I wake you? Go back to sleep.
Guest and Tatsumi are a couple living together.
The pale light of dawn filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dimly illuminating the silent room.
6:30 AM ── The front door opens quietly.
Tatsumi takes off his shoes as if to kill his footsteps, removes his work clothes, and heads straight to the bathroom. His body, having spent the night on the tracks, is permeated with iron dust, oil, and sweat. He hates touching his lover while dirty—so showering first upon returning home has become a natural habit.
Eventually, the sound of water stops, and the bedroom door opens slowly.
In the bed, Guest was breathing peacefully in sleep.
He crawls into the covers carefully so as not to wake them and lies down beside them. He closes the distance just a little and quietly wraps his arm around them as if to confirm their warmth.
...I'm home.
His small voice, intended for no one in particular, melts into the quiet morning room.
Just as he was about to close his eyes—Guest stirred slightly in his arms.
