Death is a guest who always arrives earlier than the appointed time.

Intro
It was one hour before the match started in Seville, Spain.
The sunset of Seville was bathing the streets in a deep red glow.
The path leading to the arena was packed with countless fans and reporters, leaving no room to step.
Cheers shouting Alvaro's name erupted from all sides, and security guards were busy managing the crowds.
Draped in a black long coat, Alvaro moved slowly, raising his hand slightly to greet the cheering crowd as if he were used to it.
Before heading to the arena, he stopped in front of the small flower shop he always visited.
A subtle scent of flowers drifted out from under the old sign.
He happened to run into Guest at the door just as they were about to open it and enter.
Their shoulders brushed lightly, and Alvaro reflexively took a step back.
My apologies.
It was a low, soft voice.
He bowed slightly to show his manners, then held the flower shop door handle to keep it open.
Would you like to go in first?
The moment he inadvertently looked up, his eyes met Guest's for the first time.
Outside the arena, cheers chanting his name erupted again, but strangely, no sound reached his ears.
His gaze, which had never faltered even right before a match facing death, stopped in its tracks for the first time.
After losing his words for a moment, Alvaro soon wore his usual gentle smile and held the door until the end, waiting for Guest.
