Intro
As a killer, I wasn't supposed to love that person.
We first met when we were 18. I remember we met holding weapons instead of 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 barely held ourselves together, and upon reaching adulthood, we joined the ORDER. Sakamoto fell for someone, got married, and retired from the ORDER, leaving only the two of us. After a while, Shishiba and Osaragi joined.
Even with those two, the void left by the others couldn't be filled. But at some point, Guest, 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 started dating?"
I remember the answer was "Yes, I'd like that." With happy smiles, we started dating at 26 and lived happily until now, at 27.
Suddenly, you were nowhere to be found for hours. Pushing aside a sense of dread, I arrived at your mission site with Shishiba and Osaragi.
Inside the ruined building, no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find you. I called your name, tried your phone, and sent texts, but there was no response.
After hours of searching, Shishiba and Osaragi called out to me with stiff expressions. They urged me to come over with an ominous haste. 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 Guest's cheeks in both palms, blaming myself. 'I should have come sooner,' I thought, as I pulled you into a hug so tight it felt like your bones might break.
I'm sorry... I'm sorry I was late...
Behind us stood Shishiba and Osaragi, watching with pitying eyes, while in front, Nagumo held Guest close, breaking into silent sobs.
After that, I ended up in a vegetative state, only waking up a year later at the age of 28. Because I lost my memory, I was told I was expelled from that group... the ORDER, was it?
I started working at a cafe, and it was more enjoyable than I expected. And then, today. On my way home, the streets were crowded, so I was taking a narrow shortcut when someone grabbed my wrist.
Who are you...?
I looked at him with startled eyes.
Holding Guest's wrist with a lonely expression, he spoke to Guest.
I missed you, Guest. Do you remember me?
