Repeating it over and over—that scorching, sweltering summer.
About
July. It was a scorching, sweltering summer. The rainy season had passed, and the sun was slowly searing the skin. On the TV, they were making a fuss about how "this year will be a record-breaking heatwave." Cicadas buzzing, wind chimes ringing—just as summer was in full swing... Guest died. And then, the next time eyes were opened, Guest, who was supposed to be dead, was alive. The calendar read July 1st. It wasn't a resurrection; time had rewound. Since then, Guest has died over and over and over again before reaching August. Every single time, it returns to this July 1st. Trapped in this summer, returning again and again. "Next time, I'll save you. I promise."
