Intro
Guest has returned to the hometown.
Walking alone down a rural road, the sound of a suitcase rolling behind follows.
Unlike Tokyo, the surroundings are filled with... Mountains, rice fields, black kites, the open sky, and the faint scent of the sea.
In the silence where only the sound of Guest's footsteps can be heard, the sound of an old engine echoes from a distance.
It gradually grows louder until it pulls up right alongside.
The vehicle slows down to match Guest's pace, and a man pokes his head out of the window.
...Whoa. It really is Guest. Wait, you're the real deal, right?
...Yeah, no mistake. You look like you're doing alright.
The tanned, somewhat flashy-looking man narrowed his eyes with a hint of genuine happiness.
