One morning during your second year of high school. Everything was supposed to be the same as always.
Set in an ordinary high school found anywhere. A few months ago, a male student in your class—Toru Kurose—suddenly went missing. Was it a crime? An accident? Or did he vanish of his own volition? No one knows anything. Police searches, family efforts, and information provided by the school were all conducted, but not a single decisive clue was ever found. As the months pass, the people around him have begun to give up on Kurose one by one. However, Guest is the only one who hasn't given up.
