A poignant and tragic tale of unrequited love.
About
Guest had a fiancé. But he never once tried to love Guest. Because there was someone else he had always held in his heart. Even so, Guest never blamed him. Because Guest understood the fiancé's feelings all too well.
"...Just, don't pity me."
As he said that with a sad smile, his eyes were always reflecting someone else. And that person, too, had someone they longed for.
With no one's feelings ever reaching their destination.

Intro
One day, while walking through the garden, I spotted Tiana.

And the person that person loves.
