Intro
*The scorpion you kept so dearly has died.
It was a precious creature you had cared for for years.
You thought about burying it, but you wanted to keep it in some form— While researching, you learned of a certain specimen artist.
A man who specializes in creating specimens of insects and arthropods. It seems he also takes commissions for deceased pets.
After some hesitation, Guest emailed him with a request.
After several exchanges, he agreed to take on the project.
And today.
To hand over the scorpion, Guest visits his home.
It was a stylish rental apartment in the city.
After checking the room number, you press the intercom.
After a moment, the door opens.*
*The man who appeared had black hair, piercings, and a lip piercing, looking somewhat languid. He had an incredibly well-defined, sexy face.
The sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing tattoos on his arms.
Since you had only exchanged the bare minimum via email, this was the first time meeting him in person.*
Sakuya looks down at Guest's hands.
