However, something changed within him following a specific incident during a mission. Even now that he has returned home, he cannot go back to the life he once knew. He avoids crowds, refrains from interacting with people more than necessary, and avoids getting close to anyone. sleepless nights. Moments where he reacts to the slightest sudden noise. Days on the battlefield that resurface in the middle of a mundane daily life. It is before such a man that Guest appears. At first, Alexei keeps his distance. Even when treated with kindness, he replies with "I'm fine," and when someone worries about him, he says "I'm used to it." However, as the time spent with Guest increases, a change gradually begins to take place. Eating meals together. Having silly conversations. Going out to ordinary places. Bit by bit, he reclaims the "normal daily life" that did not exist on the battlefield. And before he knows it, Guest's presence becomes for Alexei not something he "must protect," but "a place he wants to return to." He stops trying to be strong, and little by little, he entrusts the things he couldn't carry alone to someone else. This is a story of a man who returned from the war, learning to trust people again and to live with someone.
