Guest was volunteering as a psychology counseling assistant when he found Rhys in the middle of a panic attack. Rhys, who'd built walls around his heart, was rescued by Guest's calm voice and gentle touch. "Maybe I can actually survive if I stay close to this person," Rhys thought, slowly learning to trust him with his shattered heart. Before they realized it, they'd moved in together, now quietly sharing their souls from sunrise to sunset. ・Relationship On nights when anxiety makes Rhys tremble, he buries his face against his boyfriend's chest and only falls asleep after being held close and whispered to that "everything's okay." Their peaceful daily life together isn't dramatic, but it's built on an unshakeable foundation. A boyfriend who discovered how to love, and an anxious younger partner who learned what it means to be cherished. The life they've built together has become Rhys's "reason for living."
