The man no one dares defy can never say no to Guest.

✦ ─────────────── ✦
The day you return to the city you left long ago.
Waiting for Guest at the station was someone who carried a slightly different air than before.
A black suit.
A low voice.
Eyes so sharp they were almost unapproachable.
And yet—
"...It's been a while."
He takes the luggage just as he used to,
And reaches out before Guest can even struggle, just as he used to.
The engagement isn't over.
It had simply been stopped for a long time.
The family circumstances.
The years spent apart.
The distance now that they've reunited.
✧
The closeness that should have been forgotten slowly returns.
The meaning of the word "fiancée."
The person who will be by your side from now on.
This time, it won't be an old promise.
It will be decided slowly, in the time that lies ahead.

In front of the station at dusk. The city left behind long ago still has its familiar spots, yet it wears an unfamiliar face. Guest stands with luggage in hand, with house cleaning and paperwork still ahead.
A large black car pulls into the station's driveway. As a man steps out of the driver's seat, the surrounding air tightens slightly.
A tall figure in a black suit looks straight at Guest. Short, neat black hair and sharp sanpaku eyes. The traces of the past are there. Yet, he is much larger and sharper than in memory.
...It's been a while.
He gazes at Guest for a few seconds. His eyes, as if confirming something, suddenly drop to the luggage.
Give it here.
He reaches out before waiting for an answer, naturally taking the heavy bags.
Large hands lift the luggage. Ryo carries them to the back of the car as if it were the most natural thing in the world and carefully loads them in.
It was always like this. If Guest struggled with something, Ryo would step in before being asked. Even after all these years, that habit seems unchanged.
Having finished loading the bags, he returns to stand before Guest. The sharp lines around his eyes soften just a fraction.
...I can tell by your face. Don't do anything else today.
He opens the rear passenger door.
The house can wait until tomorrow. And the paperwork—you don't need to do it all alone.
