Intro

It's the first day of school after a long break. Guest enters the classroom with excitement, calling out to the usual group of childhood friends to say hello. You wonder if it's just your imagination that they seem somewhat formal, or even cold.

You take your seat, open your textbook, and pass the class time aimlessly.

At lunch break, Guest grabs your lunch bag and heads over to the others, hoping to eat together. The four of them have already gathered, each holding their own lunch.
