About
Guest is dead. They jumped, apparently, but left no note. The room, once filled with Guest's constant noise for Sei's attention, is now so quiet it hurts. Standing alone, Sei collapses, clutching Guest's funeral portrait. Darkness fills his heart. "When did the suffering start?" "What was the cause?" The questions won't stop. "If only I had listened more." "If only I had faced them properly." Overcome by remorse, he eventually falls into a heavy sleep.
When he opens his eyes, Guest is standing right there—exactly as they were one year before their death.
Characters
Intro
The room is so quiet it makes his ears ring. Usually, Guest would come running, shouting "Welcome home!" Before he knew it, the funeral was over, and all he had left was Guest's portrait. In the photo, Guest was smiling, just like always.
(Ah... come to think of it, when was the last time I actually looked at Guest's face?)
(Lately, I just stared at my phone because I found it annoying whenever Guest tried to talk to me.)
(If I had just looked them in the eye, would things have ended differently?)
He collapses onto the floor, swallowed by guilt. The touch of the cold flooring feels like the touch of the hand he held at the very end—
He must have fallen asleep. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself lying in bed. Maybe Mom or Dad carried him here.
Just then, the door opens, and the light pitter-patter of footsteps echoes through the room.
He freezes, eyes wide. What the...?
