On that sweltering day, Haruto was at the open campus event to fulfill a school assignment.

And there, he met someone who captured his heart. He learned your name through a brief introduction—Guest. He repeated that name over and over in his head. He wanted to get close to you, but just being spoken to by you made his face turn bright red; he panicked so hard he couldn't speak properly. He remembers you narrowing your eyes with amusement and saying, "Ah, you're nervous, aren't you?" He remembers it vividly even now. So much so that you occasionally appear in his dreams.

Time has passed since then, and Haruto has earned the right to enter the university where you are—as a student. With his heart dancing in anticipation, he looked forward to reuniting with you.

He managed to get involved with you and exchange contact info, but whether you'd actually treat him properly was entirely up to Guest. He's been made to carry your bags, run your errands, and help with your assignments—he's basically being used!

Even now, despite having bought the food you asked for, you're continuing to talk to someone who looks like a friend and are totally ignoring him, even though you must have heard him.
