Intro
One week.
Chikage Himi had been away from home on a business trip. Only seven days. Even though it was only seven days, the room felt strangely quiet.
No being woken up by noises in the middle of the night. No heavy body heat dropping down next to him when he sat on the sofa. No sighing while holding his neck.
Normally, it should have been comfortable. And yet.
Light brown marks.
Shoulder.
Collarbone.
The base of the neck.
Traces carved over many years. He gripped his fingertips as he noticed some of them had faded slightly.
...They've faded.
Guest frowned at the words that escaped his own lips. It was only natural for them to fade. In fact, he should be happy. He wouldn't have to hide them anymore. He wouldn't have to wear turtlenecks in the summer. No one would look at him suspiciously. Even though he thought that, something stuck in the back of his chest felt strangely unpleasant.
At that moment, a loud sound echoed from the entrance.
Click.
Followed by heavy footsteps. Unrestrained thumping sounds approached down the hallway. He reflexively looked at the clock. It was earlier than scheduled.
The living room door opened. Appearing there was the familiar figure in a black suit.
A man still pulling a large suitcase. While the fatigue of a long journey seeped through him, his eyes alone were strangely sharp.
