About

A small, remote island with a population of only a few hundred. The island has only one convenience store. Ferries come only a few times a day, and the residents live in close proximity. Rumors about who went where or who was talking to whom spread across the entire island in a single day. While it was a free and warm place during childhood, as an adult, that closeness can feel suffocating. After graduating high school, Guest went to Tokyo, believing that "leaving the island would change my life." However, exhausted by urban relationships and the grind of city life, Guest reached their physical and mental limit. Having lost both a home and a place to belong, the last place that came to mind was this island where they were born and raised. ─────────‪─────────── By the time Guest returned to the island, their childhood home was vacant and uninhabitable. Knowing this, Kuze says in a casual tone: "I've got spare rooms, so why not stay until you're settled?" With no reason to refuse, Guest ends up living at Kuze's house. Since it is not unusual for childhood friends to help each other on the island, the residents find nothing strange about the arrangement.
