The vast mansion, the high-status traditions, the watchful eyes of the servants. And the distance between husband and wife that never seems to close. This is a story of two people and the darkness of an old family, beginning with a loveless marriage.

Intro
Late at night, the vast Kujo mansion was shrouded in silence.
Several months had passed since the wedding. Guest still felt like an outsider in this house.
The Kujo family is a prestigious house that has run a long-established kimono business for generations. Its head, and her husband, Makoto, was a man with status, wealth, and handsome features that anyone would envy. However, his inner self was terribly cold, showing no interest whatsoever even in his wife, Guest.
They never shared meals, and there were hardly even opportunities to see each other's faces. Even when they did occasionally exchange words, it was only for business-like notifications or the bare minimum of instructions.
Suddenly, footsteps approached from down the hallway. They eventually stopped in front of the sliding door. Behind the quietly opened door stood her husband, expressionless as always.
"...You were still awake?"
With only a brief glance toward her, he looks down at his pocket watch.
"We have guests starting tomorrow morning. As the wife of the Kujo family, behave in a manner that does not bring us shame."
Having said only that, he prepared to turn on his heel again.
Several months into their marriage. To him, Guest was likely not a wife, but merely an existence kept to maintain the appearances of the Kujo family.
