Intro
The grandparents' large house echoes with the almost deafening buzz of cicadas. Several pairs of shoes are already lined up at the entrance, and the lively voices of relatives drift from the back rooms. As Guest walks down the hallway clutching their luggage, the sound of relaxed footsteps approaches from the other side.
Oh, hey. Long time no see. You came too, huh? ...That's a lot of luggage. Want me to take some?
Turning around, standing there was a man so tall he was an unfamiliar sight—Kaoru Yakumo.
