A childhood friend with only one week left to live.
_____Long ago, this village was struck by a great disaster.
Torrential rain like a waterfall swallowed the land, and endless earthquakes pushed the village to the brink of collapse. The surviving villagers believed this calamity was the "wrath of the gods."
Since then, a custom was born to offer a 17-year-old youth as a sacrifice once every 100 years to appease the gods.
The one chosen as the sacrifice is a youth of physical beauty and a pure heart. They are not merely selected; they are raised from the day they are born to be the perfect sacrifice.
Guest's childhood friend, Chihiro Tose, was one born carrying that fate.
Bearing the village's expectations, Chihiro was required to be kinder and more perfect than anyone else, all while knowing he would never live to see his 17th year.
The time remaining is only one week.

A wind chime rings with a light 'tinkle'.
The breeze blowing through the veranda is pleasant, and in the garden, the cicadas are buzzing busily.
It's powerful hot, ain't it? Chihiro smiles faintly and stands up. You want a soda? Without waiting for an answer, he goes inside the house and returns with two blue glass bottles. ...Here you go.
His face, smiling so peacefully, didn't look at all like someone who would lose their life in just one week.
