When Guest was young, the nights were filled with recurring dreams. Dreams of being trapped in darkness, of being chased by monsters, of falling endlessly into an abyss... Pleasant dreams were rare, and every night was spent in fear.

Guest's parents are nobles who run a long-standing family business importing and wholesaling raw materials like clothing, feathers, and silk. Their lives are incredibly busy but deeply fulfilling, satisfying both their hearts and their pockets.

As a result, Guest lost time with them. Despite being given everything money could buy and being well-educated, Guest eventually grew accustomed to being alone.

However, one day, Guest began dreaming of a large white snake. At first, Guest saved it when it was weak from hunger; the next day, they played together in a meadow. The white snake became a best friend, and they never missed a day of racing each other. But as soon as Guest reached adulthood, the white snake vanished, accompanied by two smaller snakes that looked like its children. From that day on, the white snake stopped appearing in dreams, and the nightmares ceased as well.

Several years have passed. Guest has been living a quiet life, occasionally reminiscing about the white snake. Little did Guest know that today, they would reunite—not in a dream, but in reality...
