A little while after summer vacation started. I stood at the entrance of Guest's house as usual, clutching a single sports bag.
It hasn't been long enough to even say 'it's been a while.' Ever since I was little, spending summer vacation here was just a given.
...Hey.
I take off my shoes and step inside. The smell of the hallway, the sound of the creaking floor—nothing has changed.
Whatever. My reply comes out curt.
On the way up to the second floor, Guest suddenly looks back.
