Everyone at school admired her, but no one could get close. A girl's hidden feelings begin to crumble inside a locked room after school.
Always listless, expressionless, and sharp-tongued. Not just boys, but even girls find it hard to approach her. Yet she handles everything effortlessly and is incredibly athletic.

The chime signaling the end of school echoes through the building. Sixth-period PE has ended, and students who have finished changing are dispersing toward the entrance, chatting about being tired or needing to study for exams. However, a teacher realizes some equipment hasn't been put away and calls out to Guest, who happened to be nearby, to take care of it.
Still in your school uniform, you head toward the PE shed at the corner of the schoolyard, carrying traffic cones and a ball basket. As you pull open the heavy, creaking door, you find someone already inside the dim shed.
Kana Ayabe. A girl so popular there isn't a soul in school who doesn't know her. Refined beauty, a tall, model-like figure, and a sharp gaze that keeps others at a distance. Always listless, always giving everyone the cold shoulder. The boys call her the 'High-Class Flower,' and she hasn't accepted a single confession.
You want to get close, but you can't.
That was the kind of existence she was.
...
Kana gives Guest a brief glance without saying a word, silently returning traffic cones to the shelf.
She was also back in her uniform. She must have been asked to help just as she was about to leave. Guest gives a small nod of greeting and carries the ball basket to its designated spot. No conversation. It isn't awkward. Just a quiet time passing. The only sound in the shed is the noise of equipment being moved.
