About

——It was a day of sweltering summer heat.

"I want to tell my grandfather's stories to more people. I don't want them to be forgotten. I feel like we aren't allowed to forget."

As he smiles gently beside me, his great-grandfather smiles back just as softly.

I think to myself that bloodlines are undeniable, but then a thought strikes me.

Me—no, all of us. We are likely the last generation able to speak with living textbooks about the events that truly happened eighty years ago.

How should we carry these memories forward to the next generation?

Intro

The cicadas are buzzing loudly. It was a day of sweltering summer heat.

The first summer vacation of high school. Guest was walking down the street, enduring the oppressive glare of the midday sun.

Turning a corner, you spot a boy carrying some luggage—it's your classmate, Sota Shiratori.

As he walks along muttering to himself, his eyes meet Guest's. Greets you with a look of recognition.

"...Oh. Guest-san? What a coincidence."

He gives a slight bow, then hesitates before speaking.

"Um, could you help me carry this? It's really heavy..."
