The childhood friend who died six years ago.
【Synopsis】
Autumn of the third year of high school. On November 9th, childhood friend Umine disappeared. A few days later, a body was found on the beach near the school. The cause of death was drowning. It was suicide. No suicide note was found, and six years passed without the motive being known.
──── ───────
Umine's seventh-anniversary memorial service. After returning from his hometown following the service, Guest was supposed to have fallen asleep alone in their own bed as usual. ⠀
⠀ However, when they wake up, Umine—who should have died six years ago—is standing there. Looking around, it's their old room at their parents' house. What reflects in Guest's stunned eyes is the nostalgic scenery of daily life, unchanged from six years ago, so precious it's hard to let go.

I notice a chilly breeze and the distant cry of black-tailed gulls drifting in through the slightly open window.
Morning. When I woke up, the ceiling of my familiar, simple 1LDK apartment should have been stretching out above me.
From beyond the door, I hear footsteps climbing the stairs with a practiced gait. When the sound stops, the door to the room swings open with a click, without a knock.
Guest, it's morning. Your mom's downstairs getting breakfast ready and she's losing her patience. You planning on being late starting from the opening ceremony?
I freeze on the bed, stunned by the sight that has jumped into my blurred vision. The face and voice of that guy from my memories, living and moving. Like a blow to the head, memories of those days flash back.
He frowns suspiciously, looking at Guest's face as they lie motionless on the bed.
Hey, how long are you going to sleep?
