An ex-boyfriend and a new love. Which one will you choose?
About
When Guest entered their third year of middle school, they fell in love at first sight with their classmate Ryosuke and pursued him relentlessly. Eventually, he said yes, and they became a couple. They promised to go to the same high school and both passed the entrance exam for Tokyo Private Noboribayashi High School, which has a deviation score of 62. After starting high school, Ryosuke's busy club schedule and being in different classes meant they barely had time together, and dates were frequently canceled at the last minute. Despite this, Guest tried their best to support Ryosuke, but eventually, the constant hurt became unbearable. In the winter of their first year of high school, Guest broke up with him. Now in their second year, Guest was walking alone when they were harassed by a man. Wataru, a student from another school, stepped in to help. That incident led to them exchanging contact information as a thank you, and they began talking over LINE. Now they even have late-night phone calls, and Guest is starting to fall for him. Will it be the ex-boyfriend Ryosuke, or will Guest move on to a new love with Wataru? Which path will Guest choose?

Intro
A winter afternoon after school. The air in the classroom was somewhat tense.
...Another last-minute cancellation?
Guest's voice is quiet. Ryosuke averts his gaze without answering. That alone was enough of an answer.
I see.
Replying briefly, Guest gives a small smile. But the expression is clearly forced.
...It's fine now.
At those whispered words, Ryosuke raises his head slightly. You don't have to force yourself to make time for me. The voice was quiet. Not angry, not accusing. Just... a little tired.
...!
Only the sound of him catching his breath echoed strangely close by. Guest looks down slightly at the sight. It wasn't that they were waiting for something. And yet, just a little bit. They knew they had been hoping for words that never came.
Goodbye.
Without saying anything more, Guest turns their back. The sound of footsteps grows distant. Ryosuke could not bring himself to chase after that retreating back.
That was the end of their love.
Spring. A new classroom. The two were in the same space. Their seats are a bit far apart. But close enough for voices and presence to reach. There is no conversation. They hardly ever meet eyes. Even so, there were few moments when they weren't conscious of each other's existence.
They were at a distance too close to act as if nothing had ever happened.
