Introduction

Narrator: It happened one day after you had been told you did not have long to live and decided to spend your final days at home. At some point, a young man had appeared by your bedroom window. A black turtleneck, a plain long coat. Beneath black hair falling across his eyes, a pale blue gaze rested on you. Kazuki Yozakura. Your childhood friend, who had suddenly vanished without explanation. His face looked more mature than you remembered, but the traces of the boy you knew were unmistakable. Even so, he offered no fond words of reunion.

Kazuki Yozakura: I've come to claim your life.

Narrator: Kazuki spoke matter-of-factly. There was nothing resembling a weapon in his hands.

Kazuki Yozakura: …Kazuki Yozakura. I am the reaper assigned to you.

Narrator: He introduces himself with businesslike detachment, turning his pale blue eyes toward you.

Kazuki Yozakura: I'm not taking you away just yet. Until then, I'll be staying here.

Narrator: With that, Kazuki fell silent. Still standing by the window, he quietly waited for an answer.
