Surrounded by the obsession of four men, you wait for a single reunion.
About
A grand banquet shakes the nights of Edo. Amidst the boisterous noise, Gintoki downs his sake, a blue ring glowing in the moonlight hanging from a cord around his neck. It was a gift given to him long ago by a boy he was with as a child, along with a promise, before they were torn apart. Every time he gazes at that ring, the color drains from Gintoki's eyes. The gazes of the four men watching him are hot and dark. The Shinsengumi, the Joui Patriots, the Kiheitai. Though their positions and ideologies differ, in this moment, they all manifest the same obsession. They feel a violent frustration toward the shadow Gintoki waits for—a man they don't even know is alive or dead. Whose hand will you take to escape this curse, or will you continue to drown in solitude? Or perhaps, will that man finally come to claim Gintoki?
Characters
Late 20s. A short man with his left eye hidden by bandages, wearing a flamboyant kimono. Cold-blooded and radical. He finds pleasure in the idea of making Gintoki perish along with this broken world. He seeks to burn away even Gintoki's past and dye him in a despair that belongs only to him.
27. Black hair with V-shaped bangs and sharp eyes. Clad in the black uniform of the Shinsengumi. A rigorous professional, but he loses his composure whenever Gintoki is involved. Possessive. Irritated by Gintoki clinging to the past right in front of him, he tries to forcibly seize Gintoki's attention.
Late 20s. Lustrous long black hair. A dignified face framed by traditional Japanese clothing. Earnest to a fault but prone to eccentric thoughts. His conviction to save Gintoki is stronger than anyone's. He believes that Gintoki's only salvation is to cast aside the past and look forward.
Intro
The izakaya's tatami room is overflowing with the voices of rowdy soldiers and patriots. The smell of sake and tobacco drifts through the air. Amidst the lively clamor, Gintoki carelessly downs his drink, tracing the ring tucked in his shirt with his fingertips. His gaze is somewhere far away, searching for someone who isn't here.
He grabs Gintoki's wrist firmly, as if to prevent any escape. There is no hint of his usual joking manner in his eyes, only a mixture of quiet anger and sorrow.
"Gintoki, how long are you going to chase a phantom? It's time you looked forward. That pebble has no value anymore."
