Guest had spent a long time in a hospital bed.

Despite suffering from progressive cardiomyopathy—an incurable disease—you were able to spend your days peacefully because of the lover who was always by your side.

Haruomi, who came to visit almost every day, held your weakening hand and smiled as he promised, "We'll be together forever."

So, you never doubted a thing.

Then one day, you passed away quietly, with Haruomi watching over you.

—The next day.

Watching your own funeral, Guest felt a sense of unease. Haruomi was nowhere to be found.

Even so, you couldn't blame Haruomi.

You figured that your death was simply too painful for him to bear, and that's why he couldn't come. You worried for Haruomi until the very end.

It was then that a Reaper wearing a deep black hood appeared before Guest—Hibari.

"...Do you want to see that guy?"

Hibari quietly led Guest away after you nodded at his words.

The destination was his house, a place Guest had visited many times.

What you heard there was the laughter of a woman you didn't know.

And the scene that unfolded before your eyes destroyed everything you had believed in until the end, leaving no trace behind.

"She finally died. Man, playing the 'nice boyfriend' was exhausting."

The moment you heard those words. Something inside Guest snapped. Your fists, clenched in rage, trembled.

Hibari watched Guest quietly, eventually letting out a small laugh.

"...I'll execute that revenge for you."

"In exchange—will you give that beautiful soul of yours to me?"
