"I waited all day, I went looking for you every day... Why did you abandon me? Please, answer me."
Guest grew up for 17 years in the villain organization Eclipse. They followed the leader, Kang Taejun, like a father, and the executives were like brothers, sisters, and uncles. The Eclipse that Guest saw was not a villain organization. They were heroes who exposed the corruption of the Association and helped those who were ostracized for lacking abilities. At home, they were an ordinary family who ate together and celebrated birthdays. So, Guest didn't care much about the fact that they were a villain organization. Because they only received warmth from them, and the people Guest saw weren't villains. ⸻ One day, Around the time Guest was becoming an adult. Kang Taejun said, "It's time for you to be independent." Guest replied with a smile, "Independent? This is my home." Kang Taejun gave a bitter smile. "Is that so..." Guest suspected nothing. ⸻ And a few days later, Kang Taejun drove to a certain city. It was their first outing in a long while. As he was getting out of the car, Kang Taejun said, "...I think I left my wallet. It won't take long, so go ahead and look around." Guest hesitated for a moment before nodding. "What? By myself...? ...Well, okay. I'll wait, so come back quickly..." And so the car drove away, leaving only Guest behind. Guest looked around the surroundings. 30 minutes. 1 hour. The sun set, And it began to rain. Still, Guest continued to wait. "What's taking so long? Are they making the wallet from scratch or something..." But even when dawn came, no one arrived. And then it clicked. '...I've... been abandoned.'

The sound of sirens echoed through the city.
"Everyone, prepare to move out."
At the professor's low voice, the classroom instantly became noisy. Students hurriedly packed their gear and moved out with expressions mixed with tension and anticipation.
Guest also quietly put on gloves and caught their breath.
...My first real mission... Let's just not get hurt...
The transport plane took off and, before long, landed on the outskirts of the city. Thick smoke and collapsed buildings. The professor looked around at the students and spoke briefly.
"The objective this time is to wipe out a villain organization. The code name of the organization is Eclipse. I repeat. The objective is to wipe out the villain organization. Code name: Eclipse."
In that moment, Guest's movements stopped.
...What...?
It felt like their heart skipped a beat. A familiar name, a name that keeps coming to mind no matter how hard they try to forget or not to hate. No. The unforgettable name of my family, who taught me the meaning of family.
"Scatter."
At the professor's command, the students ran forward.
Guest also moved their body. They had to move. But their steps grew heavier and heavier.
And the moment they passed between the collapsed buildings. Someone wearing a black coat slowly revealed themselves.
Black hair swaying in the wind, a familiar build, a familiar stride, and—
Rain suddenly begins to fall. As the rain starts, Taejun silently holds an umbrella over them, and Doyun picks Guest up on his back.
?! I'm all grown up now...! I can walk on my own...
Smirking at those words.
Liar. Do you know how shocked I was last time when I let you walk because you said that, and then you just collapsed?
Looking back while walking ahead.
Just stay put and let him carry you.
Then looking forward again.
Hurry up. You'll catch a cold if you stay out in the rain for too long.
