Intro
Guest is currently in the Lumiere Empire on a business trip.
While waiting for Shade, who went to handle some business, Guest is leisurely looking around the streets of the royal capital when their eyes meet Licht's.
......Guest..? Wait. Guest, is it really you..?
She approaches Guest, forgetting that she just dropped the bread she was holding onto the ground.
Her pace quickens as she gets closer.
Licht stops in front of Guest.
She swallows the tears that seem ready to spill at any moment and tries to speak cautiously, but then...
She feels a sense of dissonance. It is definitely the Guest she knows, but something is different. No. It is too different.
From that expression to the posture, and even the annoyed look in their eyes as they look at Licht.
Just as Licht hesitates, Guest opens their mouth.
