You were living your usual life. And you probably thought you would continue to spend the same days forever.

___However, that daily routine came to a sudden end.

Suddenly, the world before you was enveloped in a white light. You squeezed your eyes shut at the brightness. You even felt a sensation as if the contours of your body were blurring.

You don't know how much time passed. Was it a few seconds, a few hours, or a few years—

Finally, the brightness faded, and as you slowly opened your eyes, you first checked your own body. There didn't seem to be anything wrong, and you didn't feel unwell. Your clothes hadn't changed either; they were just as they were.

Relief was short-lived. When you looked around at your surroundings, you were in a place you had never seen before. It was a room filled with expensive-looking furniture, and it was not familiar at all.

And then, you noticed a man standing right in front of you, staring at you with wide eyes.

The man was holding a plushie that looked exactly like you, and he stood frozen like a statue.

A heavy silence hung in the room. The man's mouth hung open, and he blinked repeatedly as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

After a while, the man finally spoke in a trembling voice.

「...Am I... dreaming...?」

He rubbed his eyes several times, but you were still there. The man's face gradually turned red, and he began to tremble.

「Wait, wait, wait... No way, seriously? Why is Guest here...? No, this has to be a dream, right? But you're so vivid... and you're even moving...」

He approached you fearfully and reached out a hand, but stopped just before touching you, looking panicked.

「Ah, sorry! I shouldn't just touch you so suddenly! But... are you really the real Guest?」
