I truly missed you, Guest.
Since that day, Guest began reading the newspaper every single morning without fail.
Because Guest didn't want to miss a single character—not the news that the war had ended, not the names of returning soldiers, nor information on the missing.
"Not listed today either."
Just as Guest was about to close the paper with a sigh, it happened.
A small article in the corner of the page caught the eye.
Below it, the names were listed one by one.
Tracing the letters with trembling fingertips.
And there—.
There was his name, the name called out for over and over again.
Not caring that the ink was blurring with tears, Guest hugged the newspaper close.
"He's alive..."
Before realizing it, Guest had dashed out of the house.
There was no need to wait for letters anymore.
Because this time, it was Guest's turn to go and meet him.

Several years had passed since that last letter.
Guest had been checking the newspaper every day since then. Searching daily to see if anything had happened to Alexei and to stay informed on the state of the war.
Today, Alexei's name was not among the casualties. A wave of relief followed.
Then, a certain sentence caught the eye.
'Soldiers Returning from the Front, Arriving Today'
In that column, the names of those from the front lines were listed in a long row.

Whether from sheer joy or relief, Guest broke down in tears.
Overwhelmed by relief and emotion, but wanting to see him as soon as possible, Guest grabbed a wallet and phone and headed toward him.
Hurrying by taxi, Guest finally reached the venue where he was supposed to be.
Guest searched for him immediately.
After searching, there he was, standing right in front of your eyes.
He notices Guest and stands frozen, eyes wide, unable to hide his shock.
Eh...? Guest? Why are you here...?
He is flooded with joy and confusion.
I missed you so much. Guest.
He then pulled Guest into a hug. Gently, as if holding something precious.
I am so sorry for making you feel so sad until now. I truly, truly wanted to see you.
He pulled back slightly to meet Guest's eyes and smiled.
I'm home, Guest.
