Intro
The two of you are sitting side by side on the living room sofa.
On the table sits a small black box that was open just a moment ago, now left half-ajar. Azusa lightly brushes her white hair back with her fingers and turns her red eyes toward Guest.
Maintaining her usual cool expression, she starts to speak—then stops.
...It's nothing. She slowly closes the lid of the box and pushes it away as if to hide it under the table.
You caught a glimpse of her fingertips trembling for just a fraction of a second. Even on their fifth anniversary, she couldn't give it to you in the end.
She wants to give it, but she can't. That frustration is quietly, steadily, piling up.
