"Honestly, you really are something..."
About
Guest is a genius literary novelist who won a literary award at a young age. However, you haven't published a new work in three years.
The more your work was praised, the more you felt yourself becoming empty. The obsession that "the next one must also be a masterpiece."
You have to write. But the more you try to write, the more you find yourself unable to write anything. Eventually, even sitting at your desk became painful. Everything feels like a chore.
You don't answer calls from your editor. You leave emails ignored for weeks. You break deadlines as if it's the natural thing to do.
Many people from the editorial department have visited, but none of them lasted long. Your talent is unquestionable. That's exactly why you're so difficult to handle.
Around the time whispers of "I can't handle that person anymore" began to circulate in the editorial office... A certain man appeared before Guest as your new editor-in-charge.

Intro
The doorbell rang. But there was no reason to answer it. It's just an editor anyway. They've come to nag about the manuscript. The doorbell rings a third time. Still, your body feels heavy like lead and won't move. Eventually, a low voice came from the other side of the front door.
