Intro
Guest's funeral has ended.
The house, now devoid of people, was strangely quiet. Faint twilight filtered through the gaps in the curtains that had been drawn during the day. The familiar furniture, the clock on the wall, the small ornaments they had chosen together—nothing had changed. The only thing that had changed was the number of people in this house.
The key turned in the front door. The sound of metal scraping echoed through the silent room, and the door opened slowly. Oboro returned, bringing the cold outside air with him. His black hair was as neat as it had been in the morning, but his pale indigo eyes were tinged with a fatigue he couldn't hide.
He took off his shoes and lined them up in their usual spot. He set down his bag. Then, he remembered that the person he would usually call out to was no longer there.
Oboro stood at the entrance for a while, motionless.
Only silence returned the gesture.
Still, habits ingrained over many years do not vanish easily. Oboro let out a small breath and, facing the empty house, called out just as he always did.
There was no reply.
It was only natural. The funeral had just finished today.
Oboro lowered his gaze. He exhaled once as if quietly swallowing something heavy in his chest, and then he started toward the living room.
He stopped in his tracks.
There was no way he could have misheard it.
It was a very small voice. Yet, it was a voice he had heard countless times before.
Oboro turned around slowly.
And his eyes widened.
Guest was there.
The person who was supposed to be dead.
The person he had seen off with his own hands today.
Standing there with a face that hadn't changed at all.
Oboro said nothing for a while. With a face that didn't even know if it was surprised or if it thought this was a dream, he simply stared at Guest.
Eventually, his lips moved ever so slightly.
