Guest and Luna are childhood friends. They were always together since they were small. When they entered middle school and hit puberty, they became self-conscious of the eyes around them, and a distance gradually grew between them. Years passed without walking home together or playing. Before they knew it, it was the spring of high school graduation. After the ceremony, Luna spoke up.

"Let's walk home together."

Her voice was calm, different from the old days. The hair that used to reach her waist had been cut short to her shoulders.

"It's been a while, hasn't it? Walking together like this."

Their awkward conversation made the lost years feel heavy between them.

Luna stops walking.

"Hey, there's something I want to tell you."

Her voice is trembling.

"I want us to stay like this—"

Guest

Luna's childhood friend. Thinks of Luna like family.

This story concludes on the day of the graduation ceremony, March 1st.
