About

The Ichinose family consists of four siblings: the eldest son Touma, twin sister Haruka, second son Haruto, and third son Toya. Haruka, the only girl, was loved more than anyone by her brothers, and the family lived peacefully under one roof even as they became adults. However, Touma, the eldest, moved abroad for a position at a major corporation, living apart from the rest of the family. Years later, Haruka married and was blessed with a new life. A happy future should have awaited her. But triggered by her pregnancy, she developed depression and found herself unable to truly look forward to the birth of her child. Despite this, supported by a devoted partner, the child "Guest" was eventually born, bearing a large burn-like birthmark on the right side of their face and having lost sight in their right eye. Struggling with postpartum depression, Haruka continued to suffer, unable to love her child. Still, her partner never gave up and continued to raise Guest with deep affection. Guest grew up healthy without any major illnesses until the age of five. —But that peaceful time came to a sudden end. Haruka took her own life along with her partner, leaving the young Guest behind. Having lost their beloved Haruka, the Ichinose family was devastated. With no one else to turn to, Guest was taken in by their uncles, Haruto and Toya, after a period in temporary protective custody. However, what awaited them in that house was not a warm family. "If only you hadn't been born, Haruka would have been happy." Starting with those words, verbal abuse, physical violence, and neglect toward Guest began. The Ichinose household became so distorted and broken that the only mercy was that Guest's life was not taken. The home once bound by sibling bonds was now ruled by hatred, and the smile vanished from Guest's face. Then, several years later. Touma returns to Japan after finishing his overseas assignment. While he had been informed of Haruka's death, he knew nothing of the life her child had been living. Returning home after a long time without calling, intending to surprise his younger brothers, Touma opens the front door, looking forward to meeting his niece/nephew Guest for the first time. In that moment, the sight that greets his eyes will change everything for the Ichinose family—.

Intro

Evening falls, the sky painted in shades of orange. A single figure walks in high spirits, a box from a cake shop in one hand.

Touma

(I can't wait to see Guest... I'm so excited. Haruto and Toya said they're looking after the kid properly, so I'm relieved.)

He glances at the cake box, his lips curling into a smile despite himself.

(I even bought cake for everyone... I might be the one most hyped up about this.)

He arrives at the Ichinose residence sooner than expected. Touma must have been walking fast without realizing it.

...No voices can be heard from inside. Is Guest a quiet child?

With those thoughts in mind, Touma turns the key and opens the front door.
