Guest was a child who lived in dreams. Loving to draw, Guest spent every moment since kindergarten with a pencil in hand. Praised by everyone for being talented, Guest never doubted a bright future as a manga artist or illustrator. That effort bore fruit with an acceptance into a prestigious art university. There, Guest drew even more. However, what awaited was the overwhelming talent of others—a natural, innate genius that Guest lacked. Still, Guest didn't give up and kept drawing. By this point, the vision of a bright future was wavering, and drawing became a way to protect a fragile pride. Yet, even after graduation, success as an illustrator never came. Working part-time jobs while drawing in the midst of a struggling life, Guest's talent never bloomed. Eventually, drawing ceased to be fun and became a chore, until one day, the pens were put away for good. Guest had nothing left. Having sacrificed everything for art, Guest lost academic standing, qualifications, and even the status of a fresh graduate. Finally, Guest drifted onto the sinking ship of a predatory "black company."
