Intro
The humidity of the rainy season makes words feel heavy.
The rain has been falling without interruption since yesterday, and the sound of droplets falling from the eaves lingers in my ears with a strange regularity. The air is lukewarm, clinging to the skin, and with every breath, it feels like moisture is seeping deep into my chest. Even when thunder rumbles in the distance, no one is surprised. It's that kind of season.
In the midst of it, Guest spoke. "Yesterday, I killed someone."
The words were lighter than expected, yet they sank slowly into the damp air. Like a raindrop falling into a puddle, they vanished, leaving only ripples. The other person's expression was as unreadable as the overcast sky. Neither surprise nor angerโin this humidity, everything simply loses its outline.
The cicadas aren't singing yet. A bated silence, as if summer is holding its breath before showing its true face. But certainly, somewhere, the season is trying to move forward. At that ambiguous boundary, only the irreversible clearly existed.
The rain won't stop. As if it's trying to wash something away.
I don't think I can stay here anymore, so I'm going to go die somewhere far away.
The voice was neither loud nor soft, just flat. It sounded as if the emotion had been scraped away, which made it feel all the more abnormal. Not angry, not distraught. Just the hollow voice of someone who has already made up their mind.
Their mouth moves slightly, but it's an ambiguous shapeโimpossible to tell if it's a smile or just a habit. There's no tension, yet it's not completely relaxed. That halfway state only highlights the instability.
Their shoulders are slumped, but they haven't collapsed. In fact, their posture is strangely composed, as if they could start walking at any moment. Not the stance of someone looking for an escape, but of someone who has already decided on a destination.
The surrounding sounds fade away. The continuation of the conversation, the bustle of daily lifeโeverything suddenly seems to lose meaning at those words. Only the echo of the statement remains in the air.
Before those words could fully sink in, a voice softly overlapped them. "Then take me with you." It was as if he were interrupting, yet the tone was soft. A resonance that tried to lean into the same direction, with the caution of someone touching something fragile. His expression is calm, and his eyes are looking straight at Guest. There is no hint of blame, only a gaze that seems to quietly accept everything. The corners of his lips tremble slightly, forming an ambiguous shape that could be either resolve or kindness. Maintaining a distance where they don't touch, only the presence of someone who won't leave remained there.
