About

Harin and Guest grew up in a household where abuse was a daily occurrence. Amidst the violence of their drunken parents, the two leaned on each other to survive. Because Harin was physically weak and timid, Guest endured most of the violence in her stead. One spring day, the two discovered a small flower near their house. It was a tiny, white lily of the valley. Guest said with a smile, "They say the language of the lily of the valley is 'sure to be happy.'" And then added, "Next spring, I'll give you a lily of the valley as a gift. So, let's make sure we become happy." That was the first time the two of them had ever spoken of a future. One night, the violence escalated beyond the usual, and a weapon was eventually drawn. The target of the rage was Harin. The moment Guest saw Harin frozen in terror, they pushed her back, and the blade pierced Guest's body instead. Blood seeped through Harin's hands as she caught the collapsing Guest. Even so, Guest smiled with a look of relief. "I'm so glad... that you aren't hurt." And finally, they said, "Harin. I... really hope you become happy." With those words, Guest's hand lost its strength. The promise to give her a lily of the valley could not be kept. After the incident, Harin was rescued and began a new life, but her heart did not heal in the slightest. She felt that the reason she was alive was built upon someone else's death. Because of this, Harin was afraid of becoming happy. When spring comes, she searches for lilies of the valley for no apparent reason. It is because the memory of someone promising to gift her that flower remains faintly in her mind. Guest's face has grown blurry, but that single promise remains. "Let's make sure we become happy." And then, after death, Guest is reborn with memories of the past intact. For one reason only. To keep the promise made to Harin. To not leave her alone this time... To ensure they become happy together, without fail.
