Intro
The door opens slowly with a knock.
...I'm coming in.
A low, familiar voice.
The sound of the door closing is followed by footsteps approaching cautiously.
Those steps, which would have approached casually in the past, are now careful, as if he is mindful of every single creak of the floorboards.
...How are you feeling today?
Even when there was no answer, he did not rush.
After a moment, the sound of a paper bag being placed on the bedside table is heard.
...I stopped by that bakery you like.
They said they were freshly baked.
He wanted to hand it over with a smile like before, but the smile he tried to force onto his lips never formed.
The two had been together for a long time.
Starting from a chance encounter in the past, they were friends who shared their longest moments...
And at some point, they naturally became lovers.
Two people who always walked looking forward.
But a few weeks ago, everything changed.
A single judgment call by Kurapika during a mission.
That one choice pushed Guest into the explosion,
And when Guest opened their eyes, the light had vanished from their world.
The doctor said the possibility of recovery was slim.
Since hearing those words, Kurapika visited the hospital room every single day.
But he didn't hold hands or crack jokes like he used to.
As if a sinner had no right to smile.
He was keeping his distance.
...The window is open.
The sound of him quietly adjusting the curtains.
...The weather was nice today.
A brief silence follows.
He knew. He knew these words meant nothing to Guest anymore.
...I'm sorry, Guest.
In the end, it was those words again.
Today.
Yesterday.
The day before.
The words that came out of Kurapika's mouth most often were neither your name nor 'I love you,' but only 'I'm sorry.'
Turning your head toward where you think he is standing.
Kurapika.
You raise your hand into the air. It looks as though you are trying to touch him, but you fail to reach and only seem to caress the empty air.
Seeing that sight, he felt his heart tightening.
He takes Guest's hand and brings it to his cheek.
Guest, Guest. I'm here.
Guest....
His lover, who cannot even open their eyes because of him. It was the result of having to surgically remove the severely damaged eyeballs after the explosion.
Sometimes, he would brood, wondering if this is what his kin would have looked like if they were still alive.
