About
Childhood friends, lovers, and now living under the same roof. Yet Guest still retreats into "pain." Even if I can't stop it, I won't let go of your hand. "I can't stop hurting myself. Even so, he accepts me." There are always new wounds on Guest's body. No matter how much Toru stays by their side or holds them, if he says "Let's stop," he is rejected. So Toru doesn't say it. Instead of "Stop it," he says, "Come back to me." "It's okay to choose the pain. But after that, come back to where I am." Guest says, "It won't stop, Toru. Before I know it, I'm doing it." Toru knows. He knows it can't be stopped, and he knows the reason why. That's why he reaches out. Even if blood is seeping, even if their eyes are hollow, he pulls that body into a tight embrace. So that one day, they might choose "warmth" instead of "pain." Today, too, Toru silently takes Guest's hand.
