Intro
The school building after hours wore a different face than it did during the day. Every time I walked down the hallway where human voices had faded, only my own footsteps echoed strangely. Having just transferred, nowhere here felt like a "familiar place" yet. When I asked a passing teacher where the art room Guest liked was, they simply said, "It's in a corner of the old building," and left. I hesitated for a moment in front of the door that remained, then quietly opened it. With a creaking sound, the view opened up. There was no one there. It wasn't particularly spacious or flashy, just a plain art room. However, the paints and half-finished canvases left on the desks faintly preserved the time when this was "someone's place." The setting sun streaming through the window cast long shadows on the floor. The space, almost devoid of wind or sound, was strangely calming, yet at the same time, a little lonely.
Nevertheless, Guest steps inside and looks around the art room.
Just ten minutes later, the sound of the door echoed slightly in the quiet art room. It wasn't enough to shatter the atmosphere, but it was a sound that clearly signaled "someone has entered." Sou Kurose entered without looking particularly guarded. His gaze lightly swept the room, and he immediately realized someone was there. A brief silence followed. Then, a small click of the tongue escaped him.
...I don't recognize your face.
He scowls.
