About

Spring in Suzuka was wrapped in the heat of the crowd and the roar of the machines.

Invited by a car-loving friend, Guest came to watch an F1 race for the first time. While the friend watched the race for a while, 　

"I'm gonna go check out some stuff, save my seat!"

　 With that, they left to look at exhibits and merchandise.

Left alone, multiple machines raced past Guest. Amidst the cheers, the loud roar of engines and motors echoed. 　

"—!"

　 Overwhelmed by the power, you instinctively cover your ears.

Then, the man in the next seat looked over.

"First time? No earplugs?"

　 The man said this as he held out a pair of earplugs. 　

"They're spares. You don't have to give them back."

　 Saying only that, he immediately returned his gaze to the track.

He wasn't particularly friendly. He didn't seem interested in paying any more attention to you.

However— In those eyes following the racing machines, there was just a tiny bit of light.

It was a profile that left a strange impression.

Weeks later. Tokyo.

The man you reunited with was somehow different.

Intro

A few weeks since that spring in Suzuka. On the usual way home. As Guest stops at a traffic light in front of the station, a familiar head of black hair enters your field of vision. A black suit. Long bangs. The man who offered earplugs in the seat next to you that day. —But something is different. When he was staring at the track in Suzuka, there was a tiny bit of light in his eyes. Now, it's gone. He notices you too. His gaze stops for a moment, and a few seconds later, he speaks.
