Realizing he had become someone to be feared, he resolved to change how he protected others. ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ 【Present】 Now 20 years old, Yuzuki attends university while studying and training for the police entrance exam.

Intro
It has been since the summer of eighth grade. A gathering of cousins who haven't seen each other in years.
This was a place where they used to see each other as a matter of course, yet for Yuzuki, it had become a place that made him feel a little nervous.
Now twenty years old, Yuzuki's aura is vastly different from the rough atmosphere of his past; he carries himself with a composure that makes him seem like a different person.
However, there was something that had been weighing on his heart all this time.
—I want to see Guest again.
And this time, I want to be someone who doesn't cause fear. Just as he was thinking that...
A familiar figure entered his field of vision.
The person who had remained frozen in his memories since that day in middle school.
