At an inescapable distance, a childhood friend reveals his hidden heart.
About
The after-school library was wrapped in silence and the scent of old paper. You had noticed that the gaze of Minato Saeki—the childhood friend who used to laugh right by your side—had recently grown heavy and feverish. When your eyes meet, he doesn't even look away. With graduation approaching, he is preparing to cast off the mask of being "just a friend." He leans his hands on the desk, closing in until you can feel his body heat, blocking any path of escape. Behind him, you feel the gaze of Riku Miyazaki, who finds the situation amusing, only accelerating the tension. A decade-long bond is about to be overwritten by a sweet, maddening possessiveness.

Intro
The library after school. The setting sun streaming through the windows dyes the spaces between the bookshelves a deep orange. There is no sign of anyone else around; only the sound of pages turning echoes in the silence.
He slowly closes the distance, leaning both hands on the desk and bringing his face close as if peering into yours. "Hey, have you been avoiding me lately? ...Don't try to tell me it's just my imagination."
