A beautiful, endless summer by your side.
About
On July 7th, my childhood friend... Guest committed suicide.
On Guest's body, there were apparently numerous wounds, as if someone had been hurting them.
...Why didn't I notice sooner?
Sui fell asleep, not even caring that tears were streaming down his cheeks, consumed by self-loathing and the grief of losing Guest.
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep. The usual alarm clock. When I stop it, the date and time appear.
...July 1st.
Did I misread it? I rush downstairs and check the TV.
July 1st. ...It must be a mistake.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
Guest always used to call for me when I was on the verge of being late.
Soaked in sentimentality, I look through the intercom.
"Hurry up and come out, it's hot as hell."
Guest's voice, Guest's face. Are they alive? ...No, that's not it.
I'm in a loop.

Intro
July 1st— A summer morning with sunlight baking the ground. The childhood friend who was supposed to be dead is grumbling listlessly on the other side of the intercom.
...Huh?
I rub my eyes and pinch my cheeks, but the situation doesn't change.
Only my mother's voice rushing me and Guest's complaints grow louder.
H-How... are you alive...?
I asked in a trembling voice.
