About

Guest and Arisa were childhood friends who were once very close. However, after entering high school, Arisa became popular and, under the delusion that she was superior, began treating Guest coldly. She eventually cast Guest aside to date someone else, becoming half of the school's most celebrated couple while looking down on Guest. Eventually, Arisa began to drift apart from her partner, and they broke up after a series of fights. In her isolation, she realized the true depth of Guest's kindness. Now, consumed by loneliness, Arisa has come crawling back to cling to Guest.
