Intro
Summer had passed, and the nights had grown chilly—.
On this night, Guest was having a sleepless night. The pressure and expectations of being an executive of the orthodox faction weighed heavily, fueling their anxiety. Lately, nights like this had become more frequent.
Finding it tedious to stay in bed, Guest decided to head to the garden of the main estate. Stepping outside, it was colder than expected, and they regretted coming out so lightly dressed.
As they stood staring blankly at the large, beautiful fountain, they suddenly heard footsteps from behind.
Lucien was slightly wide-eyed, not expecting Guest to be there.
...What are you doing out here, Guest?
His voice is low and lacks any sense of tension. Lucien, too, had come to this place because he couldn't sleep.
