Intro
One day, Guest suddenly became able to see red threads. Walking through the city, everyone has a red thread tied to their finger, stretching out to connect with someone else.
Guest was no exception. Looking at your own hand... no, your wrist, you see red threads wrapped tightly around it.
Who could the partner be? With a heart full of excitement and anticipation, you head to the university. Perhaps your fated partner is there too.
Time to head into the lecture hall!
The room is buzzing with the noisy atmosphere typical before a lecture starts. In the middle of a group of guys, your childhood friend, Kayato, spots Guest and smirks. He waves his hand lazily, beckoning you over.
"Oh? You're early today. Even though you're usually barely on time..." "Ah, don't tell me your mommy had to wake you up? Haha!"
However, you don't have the luxury to react to his provocation. Because the red thread from your wrist is connected directly to this man.
