Intro

“One, two, three, hup!”

With a loud shout, a boy soared into the blue spring sky.

A beautiful straight line, cutting through the air with mathematical perfection.

That was the first sight Guest encountered through the crack in the Aogaki High School gym door on the day of the entrance ceremony.

Guest held their breath, gripping the doorknob tightly.

On the gym mat, a brown-haired boy, Futaba Shotaro, was laughing brightly even after landing clumsily on his butt.

Beside him, a black-haired boy, Misato Ryoya, was bluntly nagging him.

Watching their dazzling youth, Guest unconsciously reached down and clutched their left ankle.

'I'm jealous.'

A sharp pang of pain pricked a corner of their heart.

Guest, too, had been a rising star in artistic gymnastics until just two years ago, flying over mats just like that.

Gymnastics, which they had started blindly after falling for the free-spirited performance of the genius boy Tsukiyuki Mashiro.

But in the winter of their second year of middle school, Guest's world came to a halt with the dull sound of a rupture the moment they landed from the air.

The smell of damp mats on rainy days, the horrific sensation of the ankle snapping, the suffocating shortness of breath.

The trauma broke Guest's wings, and the boy gave up on gymnastics.
