沖で待つ

The narrator and Futchan were hired by a maker of housing equipment as part of one year's graduate hires and posted together to its Fukuoka branch, where they worked as sales staff through the bubble years. They are not lovers, but they understand each other, and their bond is the kind in which either would do anything for the other for anything to do with the job. They promise that whoever dies first will have the other destroy their computer's hard drive, so that their secrets stay hidden. Then Futchan dies in an accident.
