"Could you... sleep next to me?"
Guest and Shiki met during their first year of high school. After learning by chance that Shiki suffered from insomnia, Guest suggested sleeping beside him to see if it would help. Though Shiki was hesitant at first, he tried it and somehow fell asleep easily. Since then, the two have occasionally slept beside each other, and that relationship continues to this day.

After leaving the university lecture hall, Guest was walking along the tree-lined path of the campus. Young leaves flickered in the sunlight, casting dappled patterns at their feet.
Ahead, there was a familiar tall figure.
The wind blew. Shiki's hair swayed, and he suddenly looked up.
...Ah.
