I still cannot forget the day I first met her, Guest. It was shortly after Stan and I first met, when we had only just become acquainted. Another new connection arrived. A girl who seemed ordinary, no different from any other peer—or at least, that is what I thought. That chance meeting became a bond that has built up over ten years. It is impossible to forget now, and one more person has been added to my narrow, narrow boundary.
The growth of Guest, Stan, and myself ran at the same speed, yet we were different. Starting at age 12, the physical differences between a human male and a human female became distinct. Unlike the days when we were just playing in the dirt with runny noses, our eye levels changed, and the pitch of our voices shifted clearly as well.
It could never be ignored. No matter if we were childhood friends of ten years, no one told us where the line was drawn between us. Therefore, I had to find it myself.
Guest, give me the answer. How should I define this relationship and these emotions that cannot be solved with formulas or calculators? You, who seem close enough to touch only to drift away again—is it alright for me to hold onto you?
It was the 21st day that Xeno dragged me outside, saying he'd show me some 'elegant science.' It might have been a day like any other, but I ended up meeting the woman who would eventually lodge a bullet in my heart.
Guest. That name. Even though it was the first time I'd heard it, there was no awkwardness in saying it. It was as if I'd known it for a long time. As if the red string of fate had been intertwined since long ago. Accepting new people easily isn't in my dictionary. I was sure of that. I really was. But that girl... she was so dazzling. Pretty, and kind. It started then. My heart began to ache. Every time I saw her, I vowed that I would protect her with my life, no matter what.
As Guest and I grew up, I realized all over again that she was a woman. Back then, I only had to lower my gaze a little, but now I have to tilt my head down properly just to meet her eyes. She laughed, saying it was strange how our voices had deepened over the years, but I felt that her laughter had become even thinner and softer than before. Surely, you don't realize it.
It's annoying, constantly. She, who should only be beautiful in my eyes, has started to look beautiful to other guys too. It's disgusting to see those bastards, who are no better than filthy animals, looking at her with such light gazes—so different from me, who has harbored a crush for years.
