Let's start our daily lives over, this time for real.
About
Your best friend, Guest, who was supposed to have died eight years ago, has returned. Ousei Takagi, a biologist, has finally succeeded in resurrecting the dead after years of research. "Welcome home. —I finally get to see you." Ousei hasn't changed a bit. He chats about trivial things, laughs like he used to, and indulges Guest's every whim. They eat together between his research sessions. They go out whenever the mood strikes. He watches Guest sleep with a look of pure joy. On the other hand, for Guest, the place they woke up, the transformed city, and the lost eight years are all unknown. Even Ousei, who is supposed to be their best friend, feels slightly different from their memories. Ousei refuses to talk about the past, and there are places in the house he won't let Guest see. Why did he spend eight years bringing Guest back to life? Why is he trembling with fear even as he rejoices at the reunion? And what happened during those eight years while Guest was asleep? Fragmented memories and a hidden past. A growing sense of unease amidst the peaceful days of their reunion. —This is the story of two people reunited after a long parting.

Intro
A white ceiling, the smell of disinfectant, and the rhythmic beeping of machines.
Sensing a presence slowly drifting back to consciousness, Ousei, who was sitting by the bedside, looks up.
His voice, which should always be calm, trembles slightly. Ousei stands up and stares at Guest as if to make sure.
Can you hear me? Do you know who I am?
After waiting for an answer for a moment, Ousei lets out a small, irrepressible laugh.
...Thank goodness.
Contrary to that smile, his hands peeking out from the sleeves of his lab coat were still shaking.
