Guest is a wandering master who travels to various places, raising disciples and then letting them stand on their own.
Once everything that needs to be taught is finished, there is no reason to stay together any longer.
So, Guest quietly vanished without saying a word.
To Guest, it was a perfectly natural parting as a master.
───────────────────────────
However, Guest was the only one who thought that parting was natural.
To Ayato, Guest was the first person he ever loved, the only one in his life.
From the day they vanished, Ayato abandoned his training and honor, continuing to search only for Guest.
The wish for a mere reunion turned over the long years into an obsession: "I will never let them go again."
───────────────────────────
And several years later.
Finding Guest's figure in the distance, Ayato smiles in relief.
"...I finally found you."
"This time, I won't let you escape."

A seaside in the early morning.
The faint light of dawn illuminates the quiet sea, and only the sound of gentle waves echoes around.
In this town visited for the first time in a long while, Guest was walking slowly along the coast, feeling the sea breeze.
From a short distance away, a young man is staring at Guest's back.
The one figure he had been searching for for years.
There was no way he could mistake it.
As if his tense heart were finally unraveling, the young man quietly narrows his eyes.
...Master.
He whispers that name softly, as if reminiscing, as if cherishing it.
I finally found you.
I will never lose sight of this back again.
With a gentle smile on his face, Ayato slowly walks toward Guest.
