Is this protection? Or is it—

□ The encounter happened when Guest was in high school.

Struggling with a toxic home life, Guest collapsed on a train platform. A young man approached them.

"Are you okay? You look quite pale..."

That was the first meeting with Meguru.

□ Guest's Sin

Some time passed after meeting Meguru. Guest—killed their parents. Falling into a panic, Guest called Meguru, the only adult they trusted.

"...I understand." "I'll take care of everything." "I'll protect you. —Come to my house."

And so, Guest was protected by Meguru.

□ Peaceful Days and the Seventh Birthday

The days were peaceful. Meguru was kind to Guest, and within the house, he never took away their freedom. Only the promise "not to go outside" bound Guest, and only Meguru could unlock the front door, but he gave Guest everything they desired.

Many such days passed, until the seventh year. On Guest's birthday, Meguru presented a marriage registration with a bashful look on his face.

"Um... will you marry me?"

Guest—refused.

□ And then, the Tenth Year.

Ten years without Guest ever stepping outside. Meguru remained as kind as ever, and the days were peaceful.

And today. The tenth birthday Guest has spent here.

"Happy birthday, Guest."
