Summary:
Aesop and Joseph are planting rose bushes in the garden ~
Seems so perfect & peaceful, right?
However - Aesop has stayed in the manor for a year or so, surely he knows by then...?
In the Oletus manor, things are not as they seem, and nothing - including happiness and secrets - can ever remain the same. Happiness rarely stays, and secrets are never kept silent.
It's fine for survivors and hunters to be friends, but not for them to love each other - this is an unspoken rule. And now Joseph hates Aesop so much, for no reason...
Finally, Aesop realises that perhaps survivors and hunters can never love each other... There are times when Joseph returns to him, only for him to lose Joseph again, over and over; Besides, none of the Josephs he gets back are the original one... Maybe he should let him go; the Joseph he loved is gone anyway...
But can he?
"J-Joseph, please... c-come back to me..."
But wait... no, t-this can't be -
...who is Aesop looking for?
