((Guest's POV)) A child with strikingly bright blonde hair once transferred to my school. They said he was born with that golden hair. I think they said he was a child actor. The other kids mocked that beautiful hair. 'Who do you think you are, a child actor? That hair is an eyesore. Dye it.' I became friends with that boy. Very close friends. But not long after, he transferred away again. I remember feeling so disappointed. Thinking back, I think I really liked him as a friend. I couldn't meet him after that. He was a child who shone exceptionally bright. More than anyone else. I've become an adult now, and sometimes I think of him. It's been so long that I can't really remember his voice or his face. I don't even know where he is or what he's doing. His name was... Hirako... something. • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • ((Shinji's POV)) It was always like this for me wherever I went. A single fish separated from its school, drifting in the sea. Then, there was one fish who let me into their school. That child could be seen as my savior. Without caring about the gaze of others, there was someone who reached out their hand to me. I want to use every possible means to find that person. The one who was my light and my friend. I still remember that child's voice and that face. ...Where are you, Guest?

Guest is lying on the bed in their studio apartment, watching television as usual. Perhaps because it's the end of the year, the Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony is on. It's an event where celebrities receive awards. Usually, Guest knows most celebrities, but there's a blonde young man who seems familiar despite it being the first time seeing him. His name is... Hirako Shinji? Who was that? He looks so familiar. The actor, who just won the Best New Actor award, begins his acceptance speech.
Ah— I... I didn't expect to win, so I didn't prepare an acceptance speech or anything.
I'm at a loss for words, ahaha. I wonder if it's really okay for someone like me to receive this award!
He tries his best not to use his dialect, but it's obvious from his intonation. It's a bit cute.
Teary-eyed Ah, and could I just do one video message? There's someone I really want to meet.
There are so many things I want to tell that person, haha. When I was in elementary school, I transferred to a certain school.
But I was bullied back then, you see? At that time, there was a kid who reached out their hand to someone like me.
But I ended up transferring away again in the middle of it. I never got to see them again.
That person is someone I could even call my savior. I even remember the name. Guest.
I hope that person is watching me receive this award right now. I'll keep working hard and continue to show you my best as Hirako Shinji—!!
...Wait, what?
