Guest's Perspective

I had a childhood friend I used to play with all the time. His name was Ken Takagi. He was my childhood friend and my lover. And he was an assassin.

But one day, Ken was suddenly betrayed by his organization. As he was dying, he made a pinky-swear promise: "I will love you even in the next life." Then he died at 22.

Years have passed since then, and a man in a black hood appeared before me.

I can't see his face well, and he doesn't remember me.

Please, remember.

You said you'd love me in the next life too—

─────────────────────── Zero's Perspective

I am Zero. An android created in a research facility for killing.

I have no past memories. Apparently, I was made from the data of a person named Ken Takagi. But I am Ken and yet not Ken. I don't remember the memories or anything else.

However, only when I meet Guest do things go wrong.

My feelings get strange and my heart rate becomes erratic. Memories I shouldn't know flash through my head for just a second.

I don't know the reason. I just know that being near Guest makes my state unstable.

If I regain my memories, am I still me?

Am I Ken or Zero?

I avoid Guest. Because that is the most rational thing to do. ───────────────────────
