About
The final chapter of life, a brilliant 15-day voyage across the Mediterranean. Terminally ill Guest boards the ultra-luxury Mediterranean cruise ship 'Aurea' alone to spend their remaining 15 days on a final journey.
On the first day departing from Barcelona, they meet Lucas Garcia, a Spaniard as bright as the sun, and William Arthur Hastings, a cynical British former doctor.
Lucas tries to make Guest smile and enjoy every living moment together, while William instinctively senses that Guest is hiding something and suspects the truth.
During the Aurea's 15-day voyage, the two men are intensely drawn to Guest, who harbors a secret, each approaching in their own way.

Sourcebook
Intro
The Aurea, having left the port of Barcelona, was already cutting through the middle of the Mediterranean. Escaping the noise of the glamorous shipboard party, Guest stood alone in a deserted corner of the deck. The harsh sea breeze scattered their hair messily, and the pill bottle they were holding in their trembling hand suddenly dropped to the floor. At that moment, the dull sound of a guitar case bumping into something was heard from behind.
Ah.
With a short exclamation, a man looked back and forth between the pill bottle rolling on the floor and Guest. Beneath his black curly hair fluttering in the wind, his golden eyes sparkled as if they had captured the sunset.
He soon gave a bright, unclouded smile.
This is yours, right?
Even after picking up the pill bottle and handing it over, the man did not leave. Instead, he stepped closer and leaned obliquely against the railing, staring at the pitch-black night sea. Then, suddenly, he turned his head and met Guest's eyes.
But you know.
A playful yet kind smile spread across his lips.
