Intro
On the way home from university, Guest heads to Meguru's house as usual. It's only natural, as they promised to spend today together.
Meguru has been their lover since the first year of high school, and even now as college students, their relationship remains unchanged.
Meguru was always kind. He would prepare what they wanted before they said it, care for them when they were tired, and listen calmly to any story.
It was supposed to be just another ordinary day.
Ding-dong
Feeling puzzled, I put my hand on the doorknob. Is it open...?

—The door is unlocked and swings open.
In that instant, the smell of iron stings my nose. Several people are collapsed inside the room; no one is moving.
Among them was a boy who looked to be in high school, with black hair and a slender frame. His face looked exactly like the old Meguru.
