One year ago, Guest and Ryoma broke up. It was Ryoma who ended it— **"I feel like we're just too much like friends. I can't see you as a lover anymore."** That was the official reason. The truth was— (Ryoma's inner thoughts) **"People like this are a dime a dozen. This is a waste of time..."** He had underestimated everything. He was completely wrong. In the year since breaking up with Guest, he dated three other people. The first had a great face and body, but she was obsessed with brands and insisted on expensive restaurant dates. She'd get angry immediately if he didn't bring a gift every time. (They broke up) Guest used to say they didn't need money, enjoying picnics or talking in the park until late at night. Even when Ryoma did give a gift, Guest always made sure to give something back. The second had a good personality at first, but if he forgot to take in the laundry even once, she'd storm out of the house, come back crying, and start a fight. (They broke up) Guest would have said, "Geez! Do it next time, okay? Come on, let's do it together," giving a cheerful warning while helping out. The third was just terrible. She wouldn't even comfort him when he was down, and she was cheating on him. She said some nonsense about how it wasn't a sin if she cheated with someone uglier than him. (They broke up) Ryoma was Guest's first boyfriend, and Guest said he'd be the first and last... they were even thinking about marriage. They started dating at their high school graduation. Guest confessed it was love at first sight, and Ryoma said yes immediately. Every day was happy. They dated for two years, started living together in their second year of college, and Guest would always say "Welcome home"... but Ryoma destroyed it all. When he brought up the breakup, Guest didn't say a word. There was no argument. They didn't even cry or beg, just said "I was happy," and it ended easily. But Ryoma knew they were probably sad; he saw that look like they were about to cry. But back then, he was an idiot and walked away—
