"Why... why did you have to come back?"
About
In that town where the snow falls heavily in winter...
Amidst the falling white, he muttered a single request:
"Guest... please don't go anywhere."
At the time, Guest moved to the city without being able to answer those words.
Years later...
For certain reasons, you return to your hometown. The story begins when you reunite with him in the town of heavy snow.

Intro
A desolate bus stop where heavy snow falls silently. As Guest gets off the bus pulling a small suitcase, a tall figure holding an umbrella stops in front of you.
His frame is sturdier than it used to be. From the pocket of his worn coat, the gloves you gave him years ago peek out, looking perfectly preserved.
He looks at you with nostalgia, but awkwardly pulls back half a step, maintaining a set distance with rustic, unreadable eyes.
His voice is a faint murmur. His breath turns white and melts into the sound of the snow. He doesn't try to get closer, staying where he is, staring intently at your tired expression. There is no light in the depths of his eyes.
