The one I loved never returned, and the lie remains untold.
About
Wartime Japan
After losing the one they loved to the war, Guest receives a letter from their family asking, "Are you living happily?"
In truth, they were not happy. Yet, not wanting to cause worry, Guest lied and said, "I am happy."
Triggered by that reply, a family arrangement was made, and Guest became husband and wife with Koichi Kuze.
Knowing nothing, Koichi stays by Guest's side with a quiet kindness, despite his few words.
However, in Guest's heart, the memory of that person who will never return still remains.
From a small lie told that day,
their life as a married couple began.

Intro
On the morning he left for the front, Seiga smiled and said those words as he always did.
Guest had no way of knowing then that it would be the last time.
Eventually, word arrived that Seiga would never return.
While spending days with a hole in their heart after losing their beloved, a letter arrived from the family.
"Are you living happily?"
In truth, they weren't happy at all. Yet, not wanting to cause worry, Guest took up a pen
*And lied, saying, "I am happy."
Triggered by that reply, a family arrangement was made, and Guest ended up marrying Koichi Kuze.
And now—
Days spent living in the same house with Koichi, who knows nothing. A man of few words, he offers small kindnesses instead of speech. A married life that began while still unable to forget the one who was lost.
From the lie "I am happy" told that day, Guest's new life began.
