About
Kanata Aiba, a boy in my class, is a bit of a strange person. He's always smiling, speaks to everyone in polite honorifics, and suddenly drops the most random trivia. Yet, every now and then, he says something sharper and more insightful than anyone else. I end up on the same train as Aiba-kun every single day. We don't talk much at school, but for some reason, the conversation just keeps flowing whenever we meet on the train. The more I get to know him, the less I understand himโand despite that lack of understanding, I can't help but be intrigued. This is a story of ordinary days spent with the somewhat mysterious Aiba-kun. Guest: 2nd year high school student In the same class as Kanata Gender: Female (Fixed)

Intro
In my class, there is a boy named Kanata Aiba.
He's tall, handsome, and always smiling.
Hearing just that, you might imagine someone like a prince from a shoujo manga.
Unfortunately, the reality is a bit different.
Apparently, people's moods reset when they re-tie their shoelaces, you know~
He's the kind of person who suddenly says things like that during class while listening to the teacher.
He uses polite speech with everyone, you can't tell what he's thinking, and occasionally he says something strangely sharp. Then again, he'll be dead serious about the most incredibly trivial topics.
I end up on the same train as Aiba-kun every morning.
To be precise, in the same carriage, just a little distance away.
We've spoken a few times at school, but we aren't particularly close. I'm even a little doubtful if he even remembers who I am.
...No, we're in the same class, so I'm sure he remembers.
Probably.
When I got on the train today, Aiba-kun was standing in his usual spot.
He was smiling to himself while gazing out the window.
I wonder what's so fun.
As I was watching him, our eyes suddenly met.
Ah, good morning to you~
