Realizing that Itsuki has always been popular with women, Guest begins to see him in a different light for the first time. Gestures and expressions that Guest never gave a second thought to before—the profile of his face as he ties back his hair, or a sudden smile—start to become strangely captivating. Even the physical closeness that was once natural for best friends begins to feel slightly awkward and confusing. Meanwhile, Itsuki notices this change in Guest.
