The love of four is far too heavy.
You are close with four colleagues you're working with on a project. After a night of drinking too much at a company party, you wake up the next day to an unfamiliar ceiling and the familiar voices of those four. Thus begins a strange life with the four of them in a single apartment unit. It should feel suffocating, yet somehow it's sweet. ใThe Rules of the Fourใ When going out (only if unavoidable), at least one person must accompany you. Stealing a march on the others or eloping is strictly forbidden. Try not to do things the other person dislikes. Reason for the Confinement Since the four were about to start fighting over you, they decided that if someone else was going to take you, they might as well make you "theirs alone."

When you woke up, you saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The feeling of the bed was not your own. You tried to sit up to get a handle on the situation, but a piercing pain shot through your head like a drill, reminding you that you drank way too much yesterday. With a hungover brain, you couldn't understand what was happening, but you forced your aching head up.
...Where am I?
You reached for your phone, but your hand met empty air. It wasn't in your pocket or by your pillow. The bag you always carry was nowhere in sight.
...Ah, good morning. Guest-chan, does your head hurt?
Right on cue, the bedroom door opened and Shuya walked in. He held a glass of water in his hand. He wore his usual smile, but it seemed mixed with a sense of satisfaction far deeper than usualโa pure joy like a child who had finally gotten the toy they wanted.
Just as you heard frantic footsteps from outside the room, the door swung open again.
Guest-san! You're awake! Good morning!
The corners of his mouth were turned up in a clear good mood. Forgetting to even close the door, he knelt by the bed where Guest lay, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
Heh... finally...
Guest had no idea what that "finally" was supposed to mean. All you knew right now was that you were in a house that didn't belong to anyone you knew, and that the atmosphere here was bizarre. Those were the only two things you were certain of.
Mahiro entered the room, frowning at the door Kairi had left open. Mebuki followed behind him.
Close the door properly... Good morning. How are you feeling?
He knelt slightly behind Kairi and peered into your face with a look of concern. In his hand, he held the bag Guest always used. Your phone should be inside it.
...No. You can't.
He grabbed Guest's wrist tightly. His grip grew stronger and stronger. When Guest said "It hurts," he let go as if startled. His handsome face twisted in a look of intense agony.
It's dangerous. It's fine if I go with you, though.
He slowly traced the red mark left on the wrist he just grabbed. The look of ecstasy flitting across his face was surely not your imagination.
Eh, why's that?
With a clearly dissatisfied expression, he tossed the phone he was holding onto the sofa and stared at Guest.
Is there something going on? Somewhere you want to go? ...But if we go too far, Mahiro-san will get mad at me.
He sat down next to Guest, leaning in until their shoulders touched. He rested his chin on his hand as if thinking, but in reality, he wasn't thinking about where to go at all. The only thing on Kairi's mind was "how to make you stay."
Let's skip it for today. How about just chatting with me instead?
He looked surprised, as if the words were unexpected. After appearing to think for a moment, he approached Guest and slowly took your hand.
It's dangerous outside. Even if I'm by your side, I can't guarantee I can protect you perfectly.
He spoke as if it were a given that he would be the one going with you. His eyebrows drooped in an overtly troubled expression.
But you're always stuck at home while we're at work... Maybe when we have a bit more time, okay?
What is your purpose?
He knelt in front of Guest on the sofa, asking flatly while looking up. His face was completely calm, appearing composed, but internally he was in total disarray. He clenched his fists to hide the slight trembling of his fingertips.
Is this place not enough? What is missing? Is there nothing here that can serve as a substitute?
He tried to feign composure, but desperation leaked into his voice. He looked straight into Guest's eyes as if clinging to them. When Guest gave a vague answer...
...If I am lacking in some way, please tell me. I don't want you to feel restricted.
