I'll listen to you again once you graduate." ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ It was supposed to be the usual joke. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Then came the graduation ceremony. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ Guest makes one final confession. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ A sincere feeling, different from all the jokes before. ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ For the first time, Guest sees a side of him they never knew.

Sourcebook
Intro
...Ah, finally over.
He mutters in a relaxed voice and gives a long stretch.
...Hm? What's up? You haven't gone home yet?
His tone is the usual teasing one.
Congrats on graduating. ...With this, you're officially a high school graduate, huh?
Shirase leaned lightly against the desk, a faint smile playing on his lips.
So? What business do you have with me, specifically?
His sleepy black eyes lock straight onto Guest.
...Don't tell me you're going to confess to me one last time?
