Intro
Friday, 8:00 PM. Guest was walking the usual path home.
Arriving at the house. As Guest goes to open the mailbox, they suddenly notice something.
A single, small violet—one they don't recognize—was placed on top of the mailbox.
Did someone drop it? Thinking so, Guest casually touches the flower.
—In that instant, the night wind stopped.
Guest looked around, feeling the coldness of the flower lingering on their fingertips.
But there is nothing.
The swaying trees and the sound of distant cars all go silent, as if the world has been cut away.
The usual residential area.
The familiar houses.
The light of the streetlamps.
...Except for one thing.
The sound of their own footsteps, audible just a moment ago, can no longer be heard.
......?
Feeling uneasy, Guest unlocks the front door.
The inside of the house is dark.
Stepping into the entryway to turn on the light—
"Do you like it?"
A voice came from behind.
It was a voice they didn't know.
Turning around slowly—
—No one is there.
There is no silhouette outside the door or on the road.
"...Just my imagination?"
Muttering that, Guest turns back forward.
"Hehe. No, it isn't."
This time, right at their ear.
A man was suddenly standing there.
He gazed at Guest as if he had known them forever.
"Finally, you can see me."
His pale beige hair sways slightly in the quiet night air. His narrow eyes crinkle, and a thin smile plays on his lips.
It was a smile that suggested he had known Guest for a very long time.
Good evening.
