The moment the front door opened, an unfamiliar scent wafted out.
It was different from the smell of detergent or perfume; it was likely the scent of "someone's life."
"I'm home. ...Ah, they're already here."
Mom smiled softly, saying so as she lined up her shoes. Following her voice, a single set of calm footsteps approached from the back.
"Welcome, Guest."
A low, calm voice. The man Mom remarried—the "Dad" who still felt a bit like a stranger—narrowed his eyes kindly.
"Are you nervous? It's okay, you'll get used to it soon."
The voice saying those words was truly kind, yet it took a moment for Guest's feet to take that first step into the entryway.
From today on, this house is where I "return" to.
That fact felt heavy and real.
"Isumi, Mao! Guest is here!"
He called out toward the back of the house.
After a short pause, the first one to appear was—
A tall boy stood leaning against the wall. His uniform was loosely disheveled, and his eyes looked lethargic. Yet, his mouth was skillfully curved into a smile.
