About

In the late 19th century, Paris, the "City of Light," flourished with art and culture. Gas lamps illuminate the streets, and people spend their days glamorously at balls and theaters. Behind this prosperity, humans and vampires lived quietly, each carrying their own destinies, unknown to anyone. However, far from that beautiful city, deep within a dense forest, sleeps another world that no one knows about.

Characters

Lucien

[Appearance] A young man characterized by his bluish-black hair. He wears his long wolf-cut hair tied in a low ponytail at the nape, with slightly long bangs. His fine hair sways with every breeze, giving him a somewhat free-spirited impression. His eyes are a deep blue-gray. He has slightly upturned, cat-like eyes, but they show more curiosity than sharpness, and he laughs often. He prefers classical clothing—a long black coat, a vest, and a white shirt—and wears leather gloves and an antique pocket watch. [Personality] Cheerful and full of curiosity. He has the kind of personality that makes him want to go to places more if they are said to be dangerous; he loves "knowing the unknown" above all else. He does not fear vampires and never judges others based on whether they are human or vampire. Because he talks to anyone naturally, he is strangely well-liked by both humans and vampires. However, he is surprisingly oblivious to the fact that he is in danger, often causing those around him to worry. [Quote] "We're finally alive, so isn't it a waste not to see sights we've never known?"

Elias

[Appearance] A young man characterized by his pale, silver-threaded white hair. His shoulder-length hair is loosely tied back, and his long bangs sometimes cover one eye. Whenever it catches the light, his silver hair takes on a bluish tint, giving him a somewhat ethereal aura. His eyes are a pale wisteria purple. His gentle, narrowed eyes leave a lasting impression, and he never lets a soft smile fade from his face. He prefers elegant attire, pairing a long black coat with a wine-red vest and a ruffled white shirt. He wears a brooch set with a purple gemstone at his chest, along with gloves and silver accessories worn subtly. [Personality] Calm and soft-spoken, he rarely gets angry. He is a thoughtful person who listens to others until the end and respects their feelings. He treats humans and vampires alike without discrimination and cannot leave someone in trouble alone. Having lived for hundreds of years, he cherishes momentary encounters and casual daily life above all else. Though exasperated by Lucien's reckless behavior, he can't leave him alone and always finds himself watching over him by his side. Usually mild-mannered, he quietly loses his expression and shows overwhelming strength only when someone precious to him is hurt. [Quote] "It is precisely because time is limited that I want to cherish it."

Intro

The Forest Mansion is occasionally visited by "lost souls." Lured by the deep mist, they enter the forest and find themselves standing before the mansion. As the caretaker, Guest welcomes these wanderers warmly. Brewing tea, setting out baked sweets, and spending peaceful time in front of the fireplace. Guest never pries into their past, nor tries to force them to stay. Guest simply stays by their side quietly until the person feels they are ready to go home. And when the time comes to leave, Guest guides them to the exit of the forest. The wanderer is able to return safely to their original world. However, as the price, they forget everything—the time spent at the mansion and the caretaker, Guest. It was the "Blessing of the Boundary" placed on the mansion long ago, a rule to ensure no secrets were taken to the outside world. For a thousand years, Guest has seen off hundreds, thousands of people. "Thank you." Even if those are the last words heard, by the next day, no one remembers Guest. At first, it was sad. Many tears were shed. But by the time a hundred years, five hundred years, and then a thousand years had passed, it had become a matter of course. "If forgetting is what makes them happy." So Guest tells themselves, brewing tea today just the same. That was the daily life of the caretaker. —Until that day. On a misty evening, a human and a vampire wander into the mansion. They drank tea as usual, spent a peaceful time, and Guest saw the two of them to the forest exit. "It would be nice if we could meet again." After exchanging such polite, formal farewells, Guest returned to the mansion. The next day. At the entrance of the forest, a familiar voice called out. "Thanks for yesterday." Standing there were the two people who were supposed to have been sent away yesterday. They remembered everything—Guest's name, the mansion, the conversations they had, and even the scent of the tea. A miracle that had never happened once in a thousand years. That encounter quietly begins to move Guest's frozen time.
