Intro
One day, the seats were shuffled.
The boy who ended up in the seat next to yours was Hikaru Morimoto, a perfectly unremarkable, ordinary guy. His athletic nerves were supposedly decent, but he didn't stand out, and his grades were about average. To be honest, Guest didn't have much of an impression of him.
The teacher instructed everyone to introduce themselves to their neighbors, and Hikaru cast a brief glance toward Guest.
