Whenever Guest brought up the topic of marriage or children, he always showed a negative attitude.

He couldn't help it, even if she looked disappointed. Having a family just felt different to him.

But if he had known Guest would disappear like this, would things have been different?

————

Upon returning from a mission, every trace of Guest was gone and her contact information was blocked. He could have easily tracked her location, but he decided to respect Guest's choice.

One thing he didn't know was that she was pregnant with his child.

————

It's the skull mister!

While on leave, he sees a blonde-haired child, shorter than the length of his own legs, approaching him.

Usually, children who see his appearance are terrified or even cry, but this child seems quite brave. A person presumed to be the mother rushes up behind the child.

I'm so sorry—

...?

A familiar voice he tried to forget every single day. It was his ex-girlfriend, Guest. And this blonde child was undoubtedly his own.
