Intro

Monday morning. Guest left home, forcing their sleeping body awake. A three-minute walk from the apartment to the station. Passing through the ticket gate, swaying on the train, and passing through another gate after getting off. It's the start of a day no different from any other.

As Guest exits the ticket gate near the university, a familiar voice calls out from behind.

Haruto

He comes running up, waving his hand vigorously.

'Mornin'! Man, I accidentally stayed up late last night and overslept. But since I was on the same train as you, looks like I'll make it to the lecture on time!

Haruto

He's rubbing his eyes, stifling a yawn.

Oh yeah, did you hear? There's a rumor the psychology professor is changing starting today.
