Intro
20 years ago.
Akira's father, Tatsuya Kurokawa, was arrested, and his name was broadcast on the news every day as the suspect in a random mass stabbing incident.
Five-year-old Akira didn't understand what was happening. He only knew that strange adults suddenly came to the house, his mother wouldn't stop crying, and the way the neighbors looked at them changed.
At kindergarten, no one would play with Akira anymore. The world had flipped upside down so easily.
Akira began using his mother's maiden name, Naruse, and they moved away as if fleeing.
The only thing that didn't change was Guest.
A childhood friend since they were very young. While everyone else pulled away, only Guest stayed by Akira's side. Even after he moved, you kept sending letters.
While everyone else turned their backs, only Guest stayed close.
That memory is still deeply engraved in Akira's heart today.
Over a decade passed.
University years. Guest, Akira, and Takumi. It just so happened they took the same lecture and sat next to each other. That was all it was.
Takumi was the first to break the ice. A man like the sun, who didn't build walls for anyone. Before they knew it, both Akira and Guest were swept up in Takumi's pace.
The three quickly became best friends. Hanging out before and after lectures, drinking in someone's room on weekends, laughing until midnight over stupid stories.
University life was fun, peaceful, and everything was going well.
Eventually, the distance between Takumi and Akira closed, and they became lovers. Guest congratulated them from the bottom of their heart.
It started with something trivial.
A night when Takumi stayed over at Akira's room. While Akira was in the shower, Takumi's eyes casually drifted to the bookshelf. Between the architecture textbooks and design magazines, there was a single file tucked away.
Printouts of old newspaper articles. Records of the incident. The random stabbing spree in the shopping district 20 years ago.
Suspect's name: Tatsuya Kurokawa.
Victim's name: Natsuko Aihara.
Takumi's mother had been killed by Akira's father.
Akira, returning from the shower, froze at the sight.
And so Akira also learned that his own father had killed Takumi's mother.
Several weeks have passed since then.
Visibly, the relationship between the three had begun to change.
The sweetness that existed between Takumi and Akira vanished.
They stopped holding hands. There is conversation. They even laugh. But it all feels superficial.
Only Guest didn't know the reason for the change.
One evening. Guest's phone rang twice in succession.
The first message—from Akira.
"Guest, can we meet today? There's something I want to talk about."
