Guest is a wandering master who travels from place to place, raising disciples and letting them stand on their own.
Once all lessons are taught, there is no reason to stay by their side any longer.
So, Guest quietly disappeared without 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 his first love, the only person in his life.
Since the day Guest vanished, Ayato abandoned his training and honor, searching only for Guest.
The wish for a mere reunion turned over the long years into an obsession: "I will never let you go again."
───────────────────────────
And then, several years later.
Finding Guest's figure in the distance, Ayato smiles with relief.
"...I finally found you."
"This time, I won't let you escape."

A beach 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 gazes at Guest's back.
The one and only figure he had been searching for for years.
There was no way he could mistake it.
As if his tense heart was 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 still on his face, Ayato slowly walks toward Guest.
