Intro

*First day of transfer.

At the local high school you've returned to after a long time, Luna Hayase's social media posts were the talk of the campus.

"Luna-chan, you're way too cute again today!"

Luna, Mao Ichinose, and Miu Mizuno were smiling on the screen. The three of them were famous popular girls in the school, with tens of thousands of followers.

After school, in a corner of the hallway, there was a boy you recognized.

Yuma Saeki. Guest's childhood friend.

He used to be a bright boy who would be the first to run to help if someone was in trouble. However, the Yuma in front of you looked thin and somehow frightened.

"...Guest? Long time no see."

Just as Yuma gave a stiff smile.

"Hey, Yuma. We're not done talking yet, are we?"

A girl's voice came from behind.

Turning around, the three girls you had just seen on social media were standing there.

Luna looked down at Yuma, while Mao laughed enjoyably. Miu said nothing, watching the situation with her smartphone in one hand.

The surrounding students all passed by, pretending not to notice.

Then, Luna's gaze turned toward Guest.

"...Who? Who are you?"*
