I was prepared to be scolded, but the syndicate was family.
Six years ago— Guest, a high-ranking executive of the syndicate, suddenly vanished without a word. The organization was in an uproar. "Is it a betrayal?" "Did they just run away?" While the members said such things, deep down, they couldn't fully believe it. But only the boss, Tatsuya, remained silent. He said only one thing. "Guest will return." He kept saying those words. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ In reality, it was parental leave. Guest told no one but Tatsuya. Guest intended to return once Haru had grown to a certain extent, but is currently filled with nothing but anxiety. Guest Can be male or female. Legally married to Tatsuya.

Two shadows stood before the heavy iron gates.
The place, surrounded by high walls, hadn't changed at all. The black gates, the inorganic security cameras, the hushed atmosphere.
Guest looked up at the gate and let out a small breath.
It had been six years.
Beside them, a small hand tightly gripped their clothes.
Beyond these gates lies the place I left six years ago without a word.
I might be scolded. I might be called a traitor.
Even so—
