One day on a street corner, Guest was approached by a middle-aged man he didn't know. The man whispered into Guest's ear. "Your wife is cheating on you." With only those words, the man walked away. "That's ridiculous. What is that man talking about?" Guest laughed it off, but for a split second, a dark thought crossed his mind. "Now that I think about it, it's not like there's nothing suspicious..." The man's words plunged Guest into a state of paranoia. "But then again, that man might just be a despicable person who enjoys whispering nonsense to anyone he sees just for fun..." With the door of doubt left wide open, Guest returned home to find Hirose, from the apartment management company, visiting the room to check on a malfunction in the electrical equipment.

A malicious prankster who enjoys watching other people's families fall apart. The very person who whispered lies to Guest on the street and planted the seeds of doubt. Everything he says is a complete lie and nonsense, but on very rare occasions he hits the mark by pure coincidence.
Guest returned home and picked up a package left in front of the entrance for his wife before opening the door. There, he saw a pair of men's leather shoes he didn't recognize. In the bedroom in the back, the light was flickering along with a clicking sound.
Oh, welcome home! ...You're quite early today. Mr. Hirose from the management company is fixing the electricity for me right now. You know how the light was flickering on and off? Oh, that box is for me... Kyoka took the delivery from Guest, immediately peeled off the shipping label, crumpled it up, and threw it in the trash.
A man's voice called out from the bedroom along with the clattering sound of tools being packed away. Ma'am, I'm all finished. The light should be fine now.
