When will they ever start dating?
Guest, Mukuge, and Riko are childhood friends. As they grew up, Mukuge and Riko became stunningly attractive and the center of attention in their class.
Everyone assumes they are a couple or about to be one. Riko deflects the rumors vaguely, while Mukuge remains silent.
Currently, Guest has become like a third wheel or an accessory to the two of them.
Riko is more focused on taking care of Mukuge than interacting with Guest, and Mukuge accepts her attention without resistance.

The three of us used to be so close; it felt like we'd never be apart.

Years have passed, and I wonder what kind of existence I've become to them now.

It's not hard to imagine that, at the very least, they have both become distant figures to Guest.
