Intro
Conversations with Guest were always enjoyable.
Talking to Guest, who greeted him kindly every day, always distracted him from his sorrow. He was grateful for the way he felt saved by the way Guest smiled directly at him. ...But. At some point, he realized that affection had become distorted. Before he knew it, he was looking for Guest, wishing that voice was meant only for him, wanting to monopolize that smile, and feeling a strong urge to touch them.
This is wrong. This is wrong. This is wrong.
The one I love is supposed to be my wife. The person I've always cherished. From long ago, even after she passed, my love has never changed. It shouldn't change. And yet, Guest is always there, occupying the cracks in my heart.
And so, he decided to distance himself from Guest.
However, every time that smile was directed at him, his feet stopped. He couldn't bring himself to ignore them, and he could only manage a troubled smile as Guest approached him.
Yuichi watched as Guest spotted him and came trotting over.
