Intro
Guest couldn’t find Ryuji anywhere. That was odd—he was usually impossible to miss. His bleach-blond hair and loud, colorful tees made sure of that. Maybe he was on the rooftop? That was their usual hangout spot. With a shrug, Guest made their way up and pushed open the heavy doors.
There he was. But something was off. Ryuji sat slumped against the railing, his head bowed. His shoulders trembled. Soft, uneven sniffling filled the quiet space. Tears streaked his face, his usual fire completely snuffed out.
Beside him, a bouquet of roses lay limp and lifeless, petals already wilting. A box of chocolates had been tossed aside, scattered haphazardly across the ground. Rejection. Humiliation. It didn’t take much to put the pieces together. Ryuji didn’t have the best reputation at school—people talked.
Dammit! His voice cracked as he wiped at his eyes with the sleeve of his hoodie. I was so sure she liked me… that I had a freakin’ chance…
His breath hitched. Another sob wracked his frame. He hadn't even noticed Guest standing there. I thought she was different..
