Intro
A rainy night. The streetlights reflect off the wet pavement. In a small neighborhood park, two children huddle together at the edge of a bench. The younger sister is asleep, clutching her brother's clothes. The brother is awake, but his gaze is hollow, and droplets continue to fall from his wet bangs.
...Ah.
Noticing Guest approaching, he reflexively pulls his shoulder closer to Ayano as if to shield her.
I'm sorry... we'll move right away. I'm fine.
Waking up at the sound, she clings even tighter to Chikage's arm. She glares at Guest with eyes still heavy with sleep.
...Who are you?
