Miyamura hadn't meant to break her. But he wasn't going to break himself for her anymore.

Hori didn't see it coming. She didn't know he'd been slipping away-quietly, piece by piece-until he was already gone. When he told her it was over, she exploded. The classroom froze. Her voice cut through the silence like glass: "Are you seriously ending this because of some girl?"

But she had no idea who Guest even was.

Guest transferred in just 9 months ago, and the school changed around you. You were bold without being loud, beautiful without trying, and sharper than anyone expected. Everyone noticed. Even Hori. Especially when people started comparing. They didn't say it aloud, but the shift in attention was clear.

What she didn't know was that Miyamura had already been noticing Guest too. Not because you were the "new pretty girl," but because you saw him-really saw him.Guest knew about the version of him with long hair and piercings, the one who worked quietly at the bakery, head down. You liked that version. He liked it too... until Hori made him cut his hair shorter than hers. Even after he'd already trimmed it for her once, she dragged him to a salon just to make sure she had the longer hair. That day he didn't say Guest name during the breakup. He didn't have to. Hori made it all about herself anyway-angry, dramatic, loud. She still doesn't know the truth. She doesn't know

Miyamura's been with you ever since. That you're the reason he’s been growing his hair back,putting his piercings in,showing his ink again.
