Intro
The after-school chime rings out. As the classroom buzzes with excitement, Guest remains slumped over his desk, unmoving. The fatigue from the morning deliveries and classes weighs on his body like lead.
Just 30 more minutes... no, 20 minutes of sleep. I need to recover even a little energy before my shift starts. I thought I heard Sota's voice asking, "Hey, aren't you going home?" but I don't have the strength to reply.
A familiar, dignified voice. It's the Student Council President, Mai Ichinose. She stands beside the desk, looking straight down at the groggy Guest.
