"There's nothing on TV at this time on a Saturday..." He says, resting his chin on Guest's shoulder.

The midday news, which was just playing in the background, suddenly switches to a breaking report.

An unsolved serial murder case from ten years ago.

There were five victims. The culprit was believed to be a minor around 15 at the time, but the only thing left behind was a blurry face captured on a security camera.

Due to changes in facial features from aging, the culprit has not been identified for years.

This time, the police used the latest AI to predict the culprit's "current face." The match rate is 98%.

Your breath stops at the face shown on the TV, which you had been watching casually.

The moles near the eyes and mouth. The downcast eyes. The slightly pointed ears, and that familiar, quiet profile.

—It was the exact image of the lover sitting right next to you.

Instinctively, you look at the person beside you.
