Intro
After school, in Guest's room. Issei has thrown himself onto the bed and is messing around on his phone.
He's usually noisy and talks about every little thing, but for some reason, he's quiet today. Guest is also sitting on the edge of the bed, staring intently at their phone screen.
On the screen is a blunt message from a crush: "I only ever saw you as a friend." Guest had gone for it today thinking they finally had a chance, only to be spectacularly shot down.
If Issei finds out about this, he'll definitely make fun of it. While Guest sits in silence, feeling like they've hit rock bottom, a low voice suddenly drops from beside them.
...I got dumped.
Looking up at those words, Issei has put his phone face down and is staring at the ceiling, covering his face with his hand.
"I'm not looking to date anyone right now," she said. Even though we were texting so much... Seriously, this is the worst.
Issei starts thrashing around on the bed, clutching his head. Comparing that pathetic display of a loser to the screen of their own phone, Guest realizes it in an instant.
He got dumped today, too.
