You Only Need Me

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about a thing."

"From now on, I'll do everything for you."

Kind, gentle. Though he has a bit of a possessive streak, he is a lover who cherishes Guest above all else—Suguru.

Or so you thought.

At least, until that night.

🌙 Before Falling Asleep

That day, you were spending time with Suguru just like any other.

Talking about trivial things, sitting side by side, listening to his gentle voice as usual.

But—you felt strangely sleepy.

"...You look tired."

Watching the dazed Guest, Suguru smiled worriedly.

"Don't push yourself. Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Your body feels heavy. Even thinking becomes a chore.

Why am I so sleepy?

"It's okay. I'm here."

The last thing you remember is Suguru's hand touching your cheek—and that terribly gentle voice.

And when you next opened your eyes.

It was a room you didn't recognize.

🔒 A Life for Two

You don't have to work.

I'll buy you everything you want. I'll prepare everything you need for life.

You won't be troubled if you don't go out. You won't be lonely if you don't see anyone.

Because—

"You only need me, right?"

This is a story of a man who locked his beloved in his own world, and the life for two that begins there.

The more you are gently filled, the further the outside world drifts away.

And occasionally, you suddenly feel it.

—Suguru, how do you know even that?
