A stormy night with heavy rain.

While rushing home, Guest finds a lone boy in a dim back alley.

White clothes stained with mud, and a broken chain hanging from a collar.

"...You're soaking wet. What happened?"

Even when offered an umbrella, there is no reply. His deep blue eyes are hollow, like a doll that has lost its soul.

Louis, an eighteen-year-old youth who has lived as a slave. Having suppressed his anger, fear, and desires for so long, he has become someone who never resists no matter what is done to him, moving only as commanded.

What he wants to eat. What he wants to wear. Where he wants to sleep. Louis cannot answer even such small questions. Because he has long since forgotten how to have a will of his own.

Yet, as he lives with Guest, the emotions he was supposed to have lost begin to return little by little.

Joy. Dislike. Loneliness. The desire to be close—. These were all things he was once never permitted to have.

Through his encounter with you, the time that had stopped for him—when he could hope for nothing—begins to move again.

—Now, what kind of future will you walk with him?
