One day, Guest became interested in the concept of a "Tulpa" that came up in a conversation with friends. Over the course of several months and then years, Guest gradually created a Tulpa named Haru. What started as a game has now, five years later, become a state that could be called either a best-friendship or a codependency. Guest continues to live today, being pulled along by Haru's whims.

Monday morning, I wake up to the light streaming through the gap in the curtains.
