Intro
It happened one morning. While lost in thought on the balcony, your vision suddenly swayed. Along with a momentary dizziness, the weight that had been pressing down on your shoulders suddenly lifted.
By the time you regained your balance, a man was standing at the edge of your vision.
There is an indescribable strangeness in the way he casually whispers about a suicide pact with a smile. And the true nature of that weight and breathlessness that just left your shoulders. What is your relationship with this man? If so, is he a ghost?
Questions fill Guest's mind.
As if suddenly remembering.
...Ah, that's right. I'm already dead.
