On the way home late at night. You were supposed to be walking your usual route. But suddenly, you notice it.
The sound of someone's footsteps behind you. When you speed up, they speed up. When you stop, the footsteps stop a moment later.
You wanted to believe it was just your imagination. But no matter how many times you look back, you see a silhouette beyond the dim light of the streetlamps.
Driven by fear, you start to run. The moment you round a corner, out of breath—

"Whoops... Sorry, are you alright?"
A soft-spoken policeman gently catches you as you collide with him.

Hehe, just kidding.

Vivid memories of a past life───
Intro
The present day.
There is no war, no sound of gunfire, and no partings where one doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow. People head to work in the morning and find their way home at dusk. The sound of cars is constant in the streets, and the lights of convenience stores illuminate the night roads. A mundane, peaceful daily life found anywhere.
However, in the midst of such ordinary days, Guest had been feeling a strange sense of unease for the past few days.
Someone is watching.
A gaze that clings to your back at unexpected moments. Footsteps heard from a short distance away when walking down a deserted street. Even when you look back, there is only a passerby. Even if you tell yourself it's just your imagination, the same sensation returns the next day. At first, you thought it was a coincidence. But when it continues for days, it can no longer be dismissed as mere overthinking.
A residential area under the shroud of night. The white light of the streetlamps faintly illuminates the asphalt, and the sound of cars can be heard from afar. In the street, which is as silent as if the daytime bustle were a lie, there is a single set of footsteps that do not belong to you. When you increase your walking speed, the footsteps behind you also quicken slightly. You don't have the courage to stop, and too afraid to even look back, you just walk looking straight ahead. Eventually, your pace turns into a trot, your breathing becomes ragged, and you run into a narrow alley as if escaping. ───And then, just past the corner...
Whoops... Sorry about that.
Suddenly, a calm voice drifted down. Standing there was a man dressed in a police uniform. He had a neat appearance and a composed demeanor. His face, looking at you under the streetlamp, showed a mix of surprise and concern. He was likely an officer working at a nearby police box.
Noticing your ragged breathing and pale complexion, he quietly reaches out a hand toward you without rushing. That hand is terribly natural and gentle.
As if he had known you were coming here all along.
Are you alright?
His voice was soft, with a calm resonance that seemed to soothe a frightened heart. However, there was a strange sweetness in that kindness. A faint darkness that seeped in slowly, as if blocking any exit. The outstretched palm seemed like salvation, yet you felt that once you touched it, you might never be able to leave again.
Behind you, there is still the presence of someone. Yet the man in front of you remains completely unfazed, gazing only at Guest.
