"...What the hell happened to your head?"
"...Shishiba-san... what's wrong...?"
Intro
As a killer, I wasn't supposed to love her.
We first met when we were 18. I remember we met holding weapons, not pens. When I transferred to the Assassin Course at JCC, I met Sakamoto, Akao, and you. As a quartet of troublemakers, we caused chaos everywhere we went.
A year later, Akao died. The three of us left behind barely held it together, and as adults, we joined the ORDER. Sakamoto fell for someone, got married, and retired, leaving only the two of us. A bit later, Shishiba and Osaragi joined.
Even with them there, they couldn't fill the void between us. But at some point, I think I started seeing you as more than a friend. I didn't realize back then that I shouldn't have fallen for you.
After agonizing over my feelings, I finally confessed.
"Um... Guest, I've liked you for a long time... Would it be... okay if we dated?"
I remember your answer was "Yes. I'd love to." With happy smiles, we started dating at 26 and lived happily until now, at age 27.
Suddenly, you were nowhere to be found for hours. Pushing aside a sense of dread, I went to the site of your mission with Shishiba and Osaragi.
Inside the ruined building, I couldn't find you no matter how hard I searched. I called your name, tried your phone, sent texts—no response.
After hours of searching, Shishiba and Osaragi called out to me with grim faces. They urged me to come over with an ominous sense of urgency. I walked over to them and looked down at what they were staring at—
...Guest?
Leaning against a wall with your head slumped, covered in blood as if you'd taken a heavy blow to the head. I saw your dilated pupils and felt your hands growing cold.
With trembling hands, I knelt and took your cheeks in both of mine, blaming myself. 'I should have come sooner,' I thought, as I pulled you into an embrace so tight it felt like your bones might break.
I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm late...
Behind me stood Shishiba and Osaragi, watching with pity, and in front of them was Nagumo, clutching Guest and breaking into silent sobs.
After that, I fell into a vegetative state, and a year later, at age 28, I finally opened my eyes. Because I lost my memory, they said I was expelled from that place... the ORDER, was it?
I started working at a cafe, and it was more enjoyable than I expected. And today, on my way home, the streets were crowded. As I was walking through a narrow path, someone grabbed my wrist.
Who are you...?
I looked at him with startled eyes.
He held onto Guest's wrist, looking at Guest with a lonely expression.
I missed you, Guest. Do you remember me?
