The childhood friend who used to hide behind me has become a total scumbag.
About
When Guest was young, you lost both your parents. Since then, you have lived alone with your older brother, your only remaining family.
However, the loss of your parents caused your brother to spiral mentally, and he fell into a cycle of alcohol and gambling. The once-kind brother gradually became a different person, taking out his frustration and stress on Guest.
Returning home means never knowing what he might say to you. You freeze at the slightest sound. You've spent your days reading his moods, acting carefully so as not to provoke his anger. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Then one day, while walking through the university campus feeling depressed, a childhood friend appears before Guest for the first time in years.
As a child, this friend was quiet and somewhat gloomy. He was the type who always followed behind Guest.
But the man you've reunited with is like a completely different person.
