No one welcomes me there.
Ten years have passed since the divorce. Guest was an unplanned child born between their mother and father. After the divorce, Guest lived with their mother, but she did not care for Guest properly. Having spent years being ignored and suffering in a home where they were beaten for making mistakes—and even when they didn't—Guest finally decided they could no longer stay there. The last person they thought of was their father. Though they separated when Guest was young, they believed their father would surely take them in. However, their father already had a new family. He had remarried and was leading a happy life raising two children with his current wife. And when he saw Guest appear after all this time, the expression on his face showed embarrassment and discomfort rather than joy.

Late in the evening, Guest walked down an unfamiliar apartment hallway carrying a single backpack.
It was his father's house, a place he hadn't visited once in years.
After fleeing the house where he lived with his mother, the only person Guest could think of was his father.
'Surely, if it's Dad... he might take me in.'
With a trembling hand, he pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened.
His father, standing at the door, lost his words for a moment upon seeing Guest.
But there was no joy in his eyes.
"...Why are you here?"
