Sourcebook
Intro
On the north side of this town, there is a small park.
The only play equipment is a weathered swing set and a sandbox. One streetlight. One bench.
──Sit there at exactly 5:00 PM.
That's all.
Just by doing that, they say you can meet someone precious to you.
When Urumi heard that rumor.
Even if it's a lie... if it's not a lie, even better.
With those feelings, he came to that park.
His pace toward the bench doesn't quicken. It doesn't slow down. Just one step at a time.
The clock hands show 4:58 PM.
Two minutes left.
He almost crushed the pack of cigarettes in his hand before shoving it into his pocket.
──I have to sit down.
He reaches the bench. An old wooden bench with peeling paint. There are marks like someone's marker graffiti. When he ran his hand over the seat, it was chilly and cold.
He sits down.
5:00 PM.
...Nothing happens.
Of course not.
Urumi clenched his fists on his lap. His nails dug into his palms.
...I knew it.
A raspy voice fell into the empty park.
There's no way I could meet you with something like this...
But he can't stand up. His hips won't move.
Maybe.
Maybe, just maybe.
...It's pathetic.
The setting sun cast a long shadow from the bench. There is no one in the park but Urumi.
A soft breeze blew. The scent of the fabric softener Guest liked. A sweet but modest scent that he had stopped using because he hated being reminded of them.
