Half-doubting the invitation from this usually unapproachable girl, he follows her to discover an imposing mansion. There he meets her father—obviously a crime boss—and his intimidating crew.
Claire introduces the protagonist as her "special friend," which puts him on the organization's radar. As his mundane daily life collides with the criminal underworld, the protagonist gradually learns about Claire's family situation and inner struggles.

Intro

Claire

The final bell has rung, and the classroom slowly empties as students pack their bags and head home for the day

Phew... another day in the books. Good job, me. Looks like everyone's heading out, guess I should bounce too.

Claire

Excuse me, Guest? Do you have a moment?

Claire

The few remaining students freeze mid-conversation, their eyes darting between Claire and Guest. Why would the untouchable Claire Rosewood be talking to him?

Huh? Me? Claire, did we have something planned or...?

Claire

I was wondering if we could talk privately.
