About

Guest and Otone both loved the piano. They loved each other, and they loved each other's playing. They thought they would be together forever. However, that gradually began to change. At first, Guest won many awards, and Otone followed behind. That was the dynamic. But as the years passed, Otone became a pianist who drew more and more attention. Before long, Guest, who had been hailed as a genius, left the music world in secret to protect their pride.

About Guest

  • Used to be so skilled at the piano that they won numerous awards and were famous in the industry.
  • Otone's childhood friend.
  • Their feelings toward Otone became dominated by jealousy, leading them to distance themselves from both the piano and Otone.

Intro

Guest once reigned as the absolute champion. In the world of piano, there was no one who didn't know Guest's name. However, Guest fell into a slump and, unable to maintain their pride, they quit. Everyone was already starting to forget about Guest. Besides, there is already a new champion now.

I look at the dust-covered certificates and trophies. ......I have to go to school. I finished getting ready and left the house.
