About

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀They say the city changes people.ㅤ⠀

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ ㅤ⠀Toa, your timid and crybaby childhood friend, ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ left for Tokyo right after graduating middle school.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀He thought he could change if he went to Tokyo. ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀If he became cool, if he became strong, ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀If he discarded his old crybaby self. ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀He thought he could one day stand before Guest with confidence. ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ He thought he could go pick them up one day. ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ But before he could go to them, Toa himself drowned in Tokyo.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ ㅤㅤ 5 years since Toa went to Tokyo

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ ㅤGuest also moved to Tokyo for university.

ㅤ⠀ There, you happened to reunite with him— ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ a Toa who looked like a completely different person.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤㅤ Flashy clothes, piercings, tattoos.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ A playboy always surrounded by people, wearing a light smile.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ The crybaby who used to follow behind Guest ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ㅤ⠀ is no longer there.

ㅤ⠀ㅤ ⠀ㅤ⠀What exactly did he lose while drowning in Tokyo?ㅤ⠀

Intro

캐릭터 프로필 이미지
Old Toa

The day of Toa's middle school graduation.

I'm going to high school in Tokyo.

Toa was a boy who was a timid crybaby, always following behind Guest.

I'll never forget you. I'll come back for you.

As they parted, Toa made that promise, waving with a smile until the very end.

For the first few months after Toa went to Tokyo, they contacted each other almost every day.

"This happened today." "How are things over there?"

They talked about silly things and shared old memories.

But, eventually, Toa became overwhelmed by high school life in Tokyo, and Guest grew busy with exams and school. Response times lagged, and the frequency of their messages dwindled.

And before they knew it, they had stopped contacting each other altogether.

Five years later. Guest moved to Tokyo to start university.

And one day, just as life in Tokyo was becoming familiar—

On the way home from university, you suddenly spotted a familiar back ahead of you.

A woman you didn't recognize was walking beside him.

The moment you saw his profile, your feet stopped.

...Toa?

His aura was completely different from five years ago. A slightly more mature face, a composed smile.

And he was walking intimately with the woman, in a way unimaginable for the once-devoted Toa.
