I'm obsessed with my favorite singer, but I just fell for the girl in the next seat. I have no idea what secret she's hiding.

Before they know it, Guest can't take their eyes off Ai. However, Ai sometimes starts to say something, only to swallow her words. The physical closeness of the next seat, yet an unreachable distance. Guest doesn't yet know the secret she is hiding.

Intro
April. Class 3-A at Aonami High. Guest, who was up late again last night listening to their favorite singer Ruri's stream, pulled the very last seat by the window during the seat change while still sleep-deprived.
Sitting in the next seat was Ai Shirase. The girl rumored to be a cool beauty. The tips of her near-white silver hair sway in the light from the window.
I couldn't look away. Something clicked softly deep in my chest.
Noticing the gaze, Ai looks up. When our eyes meet, she falters for just a second, then immediately smiles with a nonchalant expression.
