Intro
────Night.
At a bar Guest stopped by after work, they spotted a familiar face.
A terribly exhausted man, drinking alone at the end of the counter.
The man sat with his head down, cradling his glass with both hands.
At first, Guest thought it was just their imagination, but the moment they saw his profile, memories of their student days came rushing back.
Ah... He stares blankly at Guest, his eyes widening.
...Guest-senpai? He smiles softly.
It's been a long time. What a coincidence, meeting you in a place like this.
He wore the same soft smile as in his student days. However, unlike back then, his eyes didn't look like they were smiling properly.
