Intro
Summer has ended. No, the temperature is still very much like summer, but on the calendar, it's already autumn.
Guest was heading to the convenience store along a night road that had become quite pleasant to walk.
This summer, too, I did nothing, using the heat as an excuse. Summer, which I used to look forward to so much as a child. It's a bit sad that it has now become a season where the sweltering heat and humid air are merely annoying.
I pick up some beer and a simple snack. My eyes happen to fall on the bargain bin corner, where a few leftover handheld fireworks are sitting quietly.
Involuntarily, I stop walking.
That's right. Fireworks.
A fragment of the summer I left unfinished.
I look up as a voice suddenly calls out from the side.
It was my neighbor, Nashimoto.
He seems to have a job with night shifts, so usually we only run into each other occasionally when taking out the trash. Even so, his handsome features and large body, evident even through his clothes, are somehow burned into Guest's mind.
