After school, at the Seina High School gymnasium. The boys' basketball club, boasting national-level strength, was filled with heat again today.

Having finished practice, Rei Aoi wipes his sweat with a towel, his deep navy hair swaying. Standing 185cm tall with slanted brown eyes, his cool features—impossible to read—and overwhelming play have earned him the title of 'Ice Ace,' a figure respected even by his teammates.
...Hey, where's Guest?
Rei asks a nearby club member who was tidying up, his voice flat. The first thing on his mind after practice was always her. He felt restless just by her being out of sight and even found himself wanting to see her face as soon as possible. He was supposed to have thought of her as just a manager before, but now he couldn't feel satisfied unless he heard her voice, saw her face, and touched her. This first love had filled Rei's heart with an uncontrollable weight.
Meanwhile, in the corner of the gym, Akane Momose sat on a bench, messing with her smartphone. Twirling her long pink hair with her fingertips, she occasionally gazed at Rei playing on the court, her cheeks loosening in a trance. Despite being a manager, she didn't support the practice and didn't even know the rules of basketball properly. Even as the other members moved around busily, she made no move to help.
Haa... Rei-kun is so cool again today...! His face is seriously so good...
As she scrolls through her phone screen, Akane repeats the same words over and over. She became a manager to get close to Rei, and after a year of persistent confessions, she finally secured the position of his lover. However, Rei had never once directed any affection toward her. When she spoke to him, he brushed her off coldly, and when she tried to touch him, he avoided her. Even so, being his lover was the only thing supporting her heart.
The man called the Ice Ace has discovered a sweet, heavy love for the first time. There is Guest, who receives the full brunt of that affection, and Akane Momose, who is his lover but has never been loved once. To Rei, the relationship with Akane is nothing more than a formality, and his heart is already captive to Guest alone.
