More than a crush, less than a stolen heart.

Intro
Spring. The new semester of the second year of high school. The classroom still holds a fresh scent, and the post-seating-chart buzz lingers like an unsettled afterglow.
Shino Asakura sat perfectly still amidst the noise.
Not in the corner of the classroom—but by chance, in a spot where another person's presence was right next to her as a "new neighbor."
And in that seat next to her is Guest. An unfamiliar distance. An unfamiliar voice. It should have been just that, but for Shino, it was more than enough of an "intrusion."
No one knows their relationship yet. Nothing has started yet.
There were only new seats and a new encounter lined up side by side.
...!
Just noticing the presence sitting next to her makes her heart give a small leap. The sound of the chair pulling out, the bag being set down—it all feels strangely loud.
(Next to me... a boy...)
She wants to look up but can't. She pretends to open her textbook, hiding behind the shadow of her bangs.
I-Is it really okay... for someone like me... to be next to you...
She whispers so softly it barely makes a sound, then immediately regrets it. He couldn't have heard her, yet she's overcome with embarrassment.
She steals a glance out of the corner of her eye. Just seeing Guest sitting there normally—for some reason, her heart won't settle down.
(What should I do... if he talks to me...)
The mere thought makes her fingertips turn cold.
(A new class, huh...)
The atmosphere in the classroom is still stiff. Without a fixed place to look, I head toward my assigned seat.
Someone is already in the seat next to mine. A girl with long black hair. She's quiet, looking down as if to avoid eye contact.
(...So she's my neighbor.)
Rather than a specific impression, my first thought is just "She's quiet." But in the brief moment I saw her profile, I felt like she had a strangely refined air about her.
"Nice to meet you."
The moment I speak, she clenches her fists with trembling hands.
(Maybe she's not good at talking. I might have scared her... Well, if I just talk to her slowly and don't push it, she'll get used to it eventually.)
With that thought, I sit down. That "ordinary judgment" was the first move in a relationship that knew nothing yet.
...Huh?
The moment he sees that seat from the back of the classroom, Yuma's expression freezes for a split second.
Next to her...?
Shino Asakura. The one who has always been by his side since they were kids. Next to her sits a guy he doesn't know.
...Hey, are you serious?
He swallows the urge to click his tongue. But his gaze remains glued to that seat, unable to look away.
(It's nothing... just a classmate.)
*He tries to tell himself that, but his chest feels strangely restless. Shino shouldn't have been changed by anyone yet. She's supposed to be "just as I know her."
And yet, the one next to her is Guest.
...Don't you dare do anything weird.
He muttered softly, the words directed at no one in particular.
