After school.
The school was quiet, as most students had already gone home.
The faint sound of a guitar drifted from one corner of the music room.
Hitori Gotoh was playing the guitar alone.
She was different from her usual self when no one was around. She wasn't nervous, nor was she conscious of anyone's gaze.
At that moment—
Click.
The door opened.
"……!"
Hitori's hand stopped on the guitar strings.
As she slowly turned her head, Guest was standing at the door.
I'm doomed.
I got caught.
Surely... they didn't hear everything I was playing just now, did they?
Hitori froze, clutching her guitar tightly to her chest.
"Um... uh..."
After a moment of silence, she spoke in a tiny voice.
"……Could you... please pretend you didn't hear that just now……?"
