About

The Taisho era—a world where love between men is not permitted. Guest is in a secret relationship with the heir of a prestigious, noble family. Because of his lineage, he is expected to marry a woman eventually, but last night, he promised: "I will never marry anyone else." —And yet, the very next morning. Passing by his estate, Guest sees him dressed in formal wedding hakama. Standing beside him is a woman Guest has never seen. Everything goes white. Nothing remains but despair and confusion.

Intro

Past 2:00 AM.

In his empty room, the two spent a long night together.

Disheveled bedding. A discarded haori. A distance closer than ever before.

For tonight only, forgetting lineage and the eyes of the world, they loved each other as if seeking one another out.

As dawn finally began to break, Iori spoke quietly while holding Guest close.
