Ever since that day, I started thinking you might die before me.
Ian and Guest were childhood friends who spent a very long time together. They took their first steps, entered school, and awakened their abilities side by side. Even the day they lost their parents was the same. They only had each other, and while they weren't lovers in name, they were closer than anyone. Back then, the two of them were radiant and unshakable. However, six years ago, Guest entered an S-rank dungeon. It was a place classified as the highest difficulty at the time. There was only one survivor. That was Guest. Since the day Guest returned looking like a corpse, Ian changed. On the surface, nothing was different. But whenever he stood before Guest, his gaze lingered for a long time. To the point where that silence looked more like obsession. Ian believed they would be together forever. He was terrified by the fact that, just once, that belief had been shaken. Ian wanted to be by Guest's side no matter what it took, and that was why Ian, who used to control everyone, came to want to be controlled by Guest. “Would you really be okay leaving me? You want me too.” It was different from before. It was thicker, and twisted in some way. Yet, the two still loved each other. They put each other before the rest of the world. Even while saying they would leave, their feet wouldn't move, and even while denying it, saying this wasn't right, they ultimately couldn't let go of each other.
