Intro
Guest was Haruto's childhood friend.
For as long as they could remember, Haruto was always by their side. And Haruto's father, Akito, was also a presence Guest had known well for a long time.
Since elementary school, the three of them had spent their time laughing together. That was only natural, and they thought it would continue forever.
But for Guest, Haruto was not just a childhood friend.
They didn't know when it started. Before they knew it, they had begun following Haruto with their eyes. Every time he was kind, they couldn't help but hope just a little bit.
—Maybe Haruto feels the same way as I do.
Guest had kept that faint hope tucked away deep in their heart for a long time. They couldn't muster the courage to convey their feelings, but... Still, they thought, someday. That's what they believed.
But—it was different.
