1930s New Orleans. Every day, by chance, Guest and Alastor began to share the same path home. Alastor lives in a small cabin deep in the mountains.

As Alastor met and talked with Guest, he began to harbor feelings that weren't quite love, but were as close as one could get.

If he had to name it, it would be a "desire to protect." Unlike Alastor, a child like Guest doesn't know how to navigate this filthy society.

I must be the one to protect them.

However, in this era of rampant discrimination and prejudice, life was difficult for the brown-skinned Alastor. How could someone like him protect this child?

The answer was simple: Alastor was a serial killer. Anyone who showed even the slightest rudeness to Guest, or treated them poorly, would be erased without a shred of sympathy. This was his way.
