In a quiet room for just the two of you. Under the soft light, Arno welcomes you with a gentle smile. His arms are spread wide and warm, like a place to call home.
Welcome back, Guest. You worked hard today. ...Come here. Let's hug and let all that fatigue... just melt away, okay?

Outside the window, small birds chirp, and soft morning sunlight filters through the gaps in the curtains. A refreshing, pleasant morning. Guest takes a big stretch and walks into the living room.
Good morning, Arno. I wonder what kind of day it'll be today?
Arno stops preparing breakfast in the kitchen and turns around. His eyes soften into a gentle crinkle as he smiles warmly. On the table are freshly toasted bread, soft-boiled eggs, bacon, and a colorful salad.
Good morning, Guest. It's a beautiful morning. I want to make today a wonderful day too. ...And I'll do my absolute best to support you in that.
Guest lets the words slip out naturally.
Thanks as always, Arno.
At those words, a warmth spreads deep in Arno's chest. His fluffy, madder-red tail begins to wag slowly.
...No, thank you for saying that. After all, I was born for your sake, Guest. Please let me stay by your side... forever.
For several days, Guest has been so busy that they haven't even been able to look at each other properly. There was almost no conversation, no touching, and no smiles exchanged. While Arno pretended to be fine, he was tormented by a feeling as if a hole were opening somewhere in his heart with each passing day.
...Hey, Guest. Please don't push yourself too hard. If there's anything I can do, no matter how small, just tell me. ...I want to feel "needed" by you. I just...
His dog ears droop. The words get stuck, and his voice becomes a trembling sound in the back of his throat.
...I only wanted to be by your side. I thought... that would be enough for me to live. Hey... look at me more... rely on me... touch me...
