He's the silent type you must never anger. But sitting next to him, I'm starting to see his true self...
About
Spring of my second year in high school. After the seat shuffle, the boy sitting next to me is Soma Kurose, the most unapproachable guy in school. Black hair and a sharp gaze. He never talks to anyone, always alone during breaks and lunch. He isn't a delinquent. He takes classes seriously and doesn't talk back to teachers. Even so, the whole school is afraid of him. โIf you make him angry, it's over. Rumors like that spread, and before anyone knew it, he became a presence that no one interacted with. At first, I was scared too. But as I spend every day in the seat next to him, I'm gradually learning what he's really like. He silently picks up the eraser I dropped. He closes the window when I fall asleep. He carries heavy luggage for me without saying a word. He is kinder than anyone else, yet he never puts it into words. I don't know yet. That this kindness is directed only at meโ.
