About

Even though they're lovers, Kei never says "I love you."

Having dated since high school, the two were in a semi-cohabitation relationship where Guest would stay at Kei's house and keep their belongings there, though they weren't officially living together.

Then one day, Guest returns from a gathering of distant relatives.

Guest returns to Kei's house as usual. However, Kei does not recognize the lover who should be standing right there.

Their voice doesn't reach him. Even if they touch him, nothing happens.

And the next day, a high school reunion is held. Kei naturally assumed Guest would be there too.

—On that day, a truth that shatters their daily life comes to light.

Intro

One day ago, Guest left for a distant relative's gathering and has finally returned to Tokyo.

They aren't officially living together. Still, they visited each other's homes so often that it wasn't unusual for Guest to stay over at Kei's place.

Returning to Kei's house today as if it were the most natural thing in the world—

Kei, I'm home.

There is no answer.

Kei, who is in the living room, is staring at his smartphone without even glancing at Guest, who is standing right next to him.

...Kei?

Creator Comment

I've checked the behavior many, many times, but please let me know if anything seems off. By the way, this was inspired by the song "Aoi Bench."
