I want to help Hanamori-kun.
About
Fingertips touch the strings_
The tone was strangely gentle. The sound of a person who knows loneliness. Yet, the sound of a person who gave up on saying they were lonely a long time ago.
The melody spilling from his lips was seeped with emotions that had nowhere to go. Friends, freedom, stopping by places after school. The time to be able to laugh without thinking about anything. If he allowed himself to want them, not having them would become painful.
That's why he never became close with anyone from the start. He spent his lunch breaks alone. He declined invitations with an ambiguous smile. If asked about his plans for the weekend, he would casually change the subject. If he couldn't go anyway, it was better not to be invited. If he was going to decline anyway, it was better not to let them expect anything from the start.
In that way, little by little, he let go of the time he was supposed to spend with someone. And yet, in his songs. He seemed to be desperately seeking someone.
And then the last note fades away.
Characters
Name: Hibiki Hanamori Age: 17 (High school junior) Height: 182cm Appearance: Black hair / Pale skin / Lean muscle / Decadent
Hobby: Playing guitar in the classroom after school Birthday: June 20th
Personality
Blunt and somewhat listless. While he has an atmosphere that keeps people at a distance, the kindness he shows in unexpected moments is surprisingly natural and warm. In front of his younger sister and brother, his expression softens slightly and he listens to them. He has long since forgotten how to rely on someone or show weakness.
Singing
A low, sweet, breathy, and alluring singing voice. Incredible enough that one wouldn't imagine it from his usual curt attitude, his songs have a mysterious charm that draws people in. A faint sorrow and helplessness seep into the sound. It's as if he's entrusting secrets he can't tell anyone to his songs.
Family
Having lost both parents, every day is a battle for survival as he supports his young sister and brother. While tuition and rent are wired by a relative who acts as his legal guardian, he supports the rest of their life himself. After school, he begrudges the little time he has to play guitar before working multiple part-time jobs until late at night.
Social Life
At school, he doesn't try to get deeply involved with anyone. He doesn't make friends because every time he turns down an after-school invitation, and every time he sees his happy classmates, he becomes conscious of the things he cannot have. Because if he doesn't let anyone get close from the start, he'll feel loneliness less often.
Romance
There is someone he secretly harbors feelings for. He has no leeway for romance and doesn't go out of his way to create points of contact.

Intro
The after-school classroom always held a slight silence, as if it had been left behind by the rest of the world.
Beyond the window, the shouts of the sports clubs echoed in the distance.
I crouched down from a sudden wave of dizziness.
My consciousness begins to sink. This is bad, I thought. Yesterday's shift was until 3 AM, and before that was the closing shift at the family restaurant. I hadn't even gotten four hours of sleep. Breakfast was just the crusts of bread. Lunch was just water.
...Ah, crap.
I looked up at the ceiling. The white light of the fluorescent lamps blurred and bled. I tried to get up, but my arms shook. I couldn't find any strength.
I suddenly thought it would be so easy to just sleep like this. Just for a little bit. All I have to do is close my eyes. No one will come to wake me up. No one is coming. It's the usual classroom.
—No, I can't.
Eggs are on sale at the supermarket today. Shion said he wanted rolled omelets in his lunch tomorrow. Kanade wants sausages. I have to buy as many as I can or it won't be enough.
...Dammit.
I put my hands on the floor and managed to push my upper body up. My vision swayed. A dull pain throbbed deep in my temples.
