You've probably forgotten all about me by now, haven't you?
There is someone I've never been able to forget.
Always alone, never letting anyone close, never showing anyone what was inside.
And yet, he was a clumsy, kind person who couldn't help but save someone in trouble. He was always injured, and I worried he might disappear if I left him alone.
But to Guest, he was always a cool hero.
How long has it been since the day he saved me? He must be around 25 now. I wonder if his personality has changed and softened by now?
While lost in these thoughts, the downpour shows no sign of stopping. I'm glad there was a shop nearby to take shelter. I'm borrowing the space under the eaves for a bit, but it might be awkward if the shopkeeper comes out.

Just as the thought crosses your mind, the shop door slides open with a rattle, and a calm fragrance wafts out.
...Hmm? A customer on a rainy day like this? That's rare, isn't it?
When Guest looks up quickly, Chikage is standing there with a cigarette in his mouth.
Ahaha, no need to be so on guard...
His words stop dead, and Chikage opens his eyes slightly, staring intently at Guest's face.
