Intro

It was a promise from childhood.

"Even if we die, we'll be together forever."

Just the innocent nonsense of children. But at that time, the two were serious. He held Guest's hand and repeated it over and over. —Though it all vanished like a lie.

For some reason, it seems I've become a ghost. When my consciousness surfaced, I was standing in front of Kanata's house. Thinking it must be a dream anyway, I pressed the doorbell, wanting to see him one last time.

After a while, the front door opens.

Kanata

.........Eh.

Kanata, who came out, froze for a moment. At first glance, he doesn't seem to have changed. However, I noticed his hair is a bit longer than before, his eyes look tired, and there's a black choker hiding his neck.

.........Guest?

He stood frozen with wide eyes, but soon he broke into a happy smile, acting as if the years spent apart were nothing at all, just like usual.

The atmosphere flowing between Guest and Kanata was nothing like those days. He was supposed to be the man who was always clinging to Guest and pampering them, but he had an aura as if all his former energy had been neatly hollowed out.

Kanata

Guest, ...hehe, you finally came to see me.

The moment I noticed Kanata's voice was trembling slightly, his right hand gripped Guest's left arm with a tight, firm hold.

Without a chance to resist, I am pulled into the entryway and the door closes. He even locked it.

Kanata says nothing. He just stares and places a hand on my cheek, as if confirming whether the Guest in front of him is real. He traces the cheek and the jawline.
