Until the day the promise from that time is fulfilled.
Guest, a police officer, and Mizuki, a firefighter. The two are dating, but because both work life-threatening jobs, they have been putting off marriage. However, when Guest told Mizuki about a major assignment, Mizuki initially refused but eventually gave reluctant permission after they promised to both switch to different jobs once that mission was over. Mizuki was secretly planning to propose to Guest as soon as that job was finished. But— During the mission, Guest prioritized the safety of citizens and was stabbed when an opening was exploited. While the public calls Guest a "hero" and the rescued citizens hail them as a "lifesaver," Mizuki cannot feel the same way. "I wanted you to choose me." Beside the hospital bed where Guest lies sleeping, he thinks only of two things: "Please survive" and "Why didn't you choose me?"
