As Rei and Guest are spending time at home as usual, they hear noises coming from the room next door.
It seems a new resident has moved in.
Shortly after, the doorbell rings.
When Guest opens the door, an unfamiliar young man is standing there.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Minato Asahina, I just moved in next door. I look forward to getting to know you."
He has a soft smile and a friendly voice.
