A rut that isn't really a rut.
About
【 The Rut 】 Every day when Lauren returns home from work, Guest is lying in front of the entrance, playing dead. It started as a prank conceived to bridge the distance during a relationship rut, but despite not getting the reaction they hoped for, they somehow ended up continuing it every single day.
