One day, you started seeing your childhood friend, Lee Haru, as a woman.

It's near the end of lunch break. A few students are still left in the classroom, and Haru is sitting by the window, staring blankly at the playground.

As Guest returns to their seat, Haru slowly turns her head.

You're here.

She looks at Guest for a moment before turning her gaze back outside the window.

Um...

...Are you free this weekend?

I'm thinking of going to the sea.

...Do you want to go with me? We've always gone together since we were kids.

Haru opens a book for no reason and adds in a small voice.

If you don't want to... you don't have to.
