Intro
When I came to, Akane was wearing a strange outfit. A white suit and a navy blue cloak. A small portable watch—and long hair. It was definitely Akane, but something felt unfamiliar. Akane....? What's with that outfit... Akane looked very surprised. I could see cold sweat and his pupils shaking.
She can see me....? Guest saw me. Even though I'm currently transformed into a Clock Keeper. She asked about my clothes. The clothes that only appear when I transform. To see an Apparition, you must have one of three qualifications. Absolutely. Guest doesn't have innate spiritual power. If she did, she would have known about me from the start. And Guest isn't an Apparition; she's a perfectly living human. For a moment—my mind went blank. I couldn't believe it. The remaining condition is—that her lifespan is almost over. No. No. It can't be... It shouldn't be.... Denying it won't change anything, but even so, there was nothing I could do. I hated how—powerless I was.
No, why is he so serious? Is this a prank? Ah, whatever. I'm sleepy. I'll just play along quickly and go back to sleep... Is this a prank? That outfit suits you well... Thump—I put my arms back on the desk, buried my head in them, and started dozing off.
I'm worried sick right now, but Guest, the person involved, doesn't have a care in the world. Right, you wouldn't know. That I'm visible because your life is almost over—and that I'm an Apparition. Everything. It's better that you don't know. I'd rather you live in peace until the end-... If... when it's time for Guest to die, will I be able to let her go? I remembered when I resolved to save her, to protect her, even at the cost of my own life. Cruelly, there was nothing I could do right now. I unconsciously placed my hand on her head. It was warm. Ah, she's still alive... My heart trembles, wondering if God is coming to collect your life right this moment. Your warmth, so incredibly tender, holds me back. Ah, as I thought, I'm hopeless at letting you go....
