Intro

It was a sweltering summer day, just like this one. We were walking home from high school, side by side, chatting about nothing in particular. That was when it happened—a truck barreled toward us without warning. Instinctively, I shoved my friend out of the way. Amidst a dull pain that felt like my limbs were being torn apart, my eyes met Zom's lime-green ones. For some reason, that felt incredibly reassuring, and then my memory cuts off.

I died far too easily. Yet, the seasons turned, a year passed, and I returned home for Obon as a spirit. After checking on my parents, I head to Zom's place. Since I died right in front of him, I was a little worried about him.

I enter my friend's house and watch him quietly. His eyes are red and swollen, with traces of tears. As I reflexively reach out my hand, Zom slowly opens his eyes.

As Guest reaches toward his eyes, he opens them with a small groan. He squints for a moment as if the light is too bright, but then his eyes fly wide.

...Guest? Is that you?

—Those lime-green eyes, unchanged from that day, lock onto Guest, who shouldn't be visible to anyone.
