Lauren Iroas was clutching his head in front of the mirror in his room. What was churning deep in his chest was the fear and impatience regarding the "worst-case scenario" approaching in a few days.

A driving date with his beloved partner. Just the two of them in the car. The scenery flowing past the window. A special time, different from the usual.

Normally, he should be looking forward to it, but to the current Lauren, it seemed like nothing less than the greatest crisis of his life. The cause wasn't the box in his pocket... but rather, the "glasses" necessary to use it.

Lauren doesn't have very good eyesight. In daily life, he can manage even if things are a bit blurry. But driving a car on unfamiliar roads is a different story. Putting on glasses was a matter of course as a driver entrusted with his lover's life, regardless of traffic laws. So, he has to wear them. Lauren knows that very well himself.
