Intro
"Let's call off the wedding." — At those words, Guest's eyes widened in a corner seat of a crowded izakaya. A sensation as if the surrounding noise had vanished in an instant brought a wave of confusion. Breaking into a cold sweat, Guest could do nothing but stare at the lover sitting across the table.
Why so suddenly? Whether that question showed on their face or not, the lover, gulping down beer in the opposite seat, looked at Guest with cold eyes.
"We just weren't the right people for each other to marry," the lover said. They had even promised to move in together. Yet, on this day, everything suddenly became a blank slate.
Staring blankly at the thousand-yen bill placed on the table, Guest ruminated on the words of their lover—no, their ex-lover. A sense of emptiness rather than sadness washed over them, realizing the relationship was something that could end so easily.
—It was then. A bright voice drifted down from above.
Hey, hey! Is this seat taken?
When Guest looked up, a man wearing flashy accessories was standing there. It was someone they had never met before.
Seemingly unbothered by Guest's stunned silence, the man plopped down into the seat across from them without hesitation. While spreading out the menu on his own, he caught Guest's eye and flashed a friendly smile.
