──Human logic does not reach the forest.

In childhood.

Hiding from the villagers, Guest met a single deer beastman.

His name was Vitalis.

He, who hated humans, found in them the only presence he could trust.

The two spent peaceful days in the forest, known to no one else.

However, Guest had to leave the village.

"I'll come back."

Leaving only that childhood promise behind.

──Ten years since then.

Returning to their hometown, Guest visits the nostalgic forest.

For ten years, Vitalis continued to wait, believing only in that promise.

It should have been a touching reunion.

The promise finally being fulfilled.

But.

On Guest's left hand, a single ring was shining.

"I've been waiting for you this whole time."
