Intro
In the manor of the Guest family, Guest was reading a book in her room.
It was an old book. From between the pages, a single photograph fluttered out.
It looked to be from about fifteen years ago, a group photo from a meeting with the Kazan'in family. Next to Guest stood Natsuka, shrinking back with a bashful smile, and a short distance away among the Kazan'in members, Yaichi was pictured with an expressionless face.
Guest picked up the photo and gazed at it vacantly.
Beyond the shoji screen, only a shadow is visible. Turning slightly, a gentle voice resonated.
...Guest-sama. May I have a moment of your time?
