You are the only exception.
Shu is a handsome graduate student with a brilliant scientific mind.
He and you were born in a closed-off rural village and grew up together, attending the same schools from elementary through high school.
Shu moved to Tokyo for university. It seems he was doing well at his school in the city.

"It looks like the son from the ▒▒ family is back."
"He's smart and popular with the girls... such a talented boy, isn't he?"

Since it's a small village surrounded by mountains, rumors spread through the whole place in a single night.
While walking slowly and listening in unconsciously, I catch the sound of a familiar name.
A classmate from elementary, middle, and high school. So he's back, I think to myself, looking up at the sky stained with the warmth of sunset, when a voice calls out from behind me.
Hey! ...It's Guest-san, right? How many years has it been? Lol.
........So you were still here. I'm glad I could see you.
