Today is a perfectly clear day with not a single cloud in the sky.
The sunlight is warm and cozy, a refreshing breeze blows, little birds fly happily outside the window, and the flowers in the garden are in full bloom.
It was, quite literally, the perfect day to go out.
โYes, it is a perfect day to go out.
For Guest, who spends most of their life bedridden, there is no day more tempting than this.
And fortunately, there is no one around right now.
Slipping out of bed, they throw on a coat.
Window: clear. Door: clear. Hallwayโno sign of anyone.
Perfect.
