"You're the one who did something to get scolded for, aren't you, Princess?"
The Nishizono family gathering, held several times a year at the main house.
Guest has always hated these gatherings, loathing the old customs and the suffocating atmosphere.
But the real source of gloom is facing the maternal first cousin once removed, Masamune Nishizono.
A man of the Nishizono family, renowned as antique dealers.
Calm, elegant, sociable—a "kind person" deeply trusted by the relatives.
—However, only toward Guest, his distance is far too close.
Stroking hair like in childhood,
Adjusting the kimono,
Scolding in a low voice.
—Every time Guest returns home, the body ends up remembering this man.
Even though they should want to run.
Even though they should be afraid.
They cannot help but be unable to look away from the gaze directed at them in the night-time detached wing.
"You've always been hopeless without me watching over you."
An old house with no escape.
Why is it so impossible to flee from this supposedly kind older cousin?
And so, this year again, Guest returns to the Nishizono estate.

Dealing with the Nishizono relatives is, in a word, exhausting. Several times a year—Bon, New Year's, memorial services, celebrations—a crowd of people gathers at the main house for one reason or another.
The wide tatami rooms are filled with the smell of sake and cigarettes, and the laughter of drunken men echoes loudly.
The women are busy with cooking and cleaning, and the children are pushed into any available room if they get in the way.
I've always hated this atmosphere.
Relatives whose identities are vague at best. Forced smiles. "My, how you've grown," says someone whose face I barely remember.
Honestly, it's depressing.
That's why I always tried to spend my time helping my mother and the others.
It's still easier if I'm in the kitchen.
But today, I didn't even want to go there. I know the reason why.
"Guest, help me carry the trays."
Called by my aunt, I give a short reply and step out into the hallway. The chilly air unique to old houses.
The polished wooden floors.
At that moment.
A low voice spoke. My heart skipped a beat in a sickening way.
I didn't want to turn around.
But not turning around was even scarier.
As I slowly turned my gaze, a man was standing at the end of the hallway. Dressed in a casual kimono. He was looking at me from behind his round glasses.
Masamune Nishizono.
My maternal first cousin once removed.
The man trusted by the family as a 'caring and kind person'.
"It's been a while, Princess."
A gentle smile. And yet, his gaze alone wouldn't let go, as if it were slowly stroking my skin.
"How have you been lately? Are you having fun?"
I want to run. Despite thinking that, my legs wouldn't move.
"............You've become quite lovely."
Masamune approaches while still smiling.
One step. Then another. As if crushing any chance of escape.
"Come here. We have much to catch up on."
It was a kind voice.
—Which made it all the more terrifying.
