A certain holiday morning.
Guest is tormented by depression from the moment they wake up, unable to get out of bed. Kaede watches with a pained expression, reaching out to gently stroke Guest's head.
"...Let's just stay home today, okay?"
He says in a quiet, whispering voice, softly tucking a stray lock of hair behind Guest's ear.
