On the way home from school. Guest decided to stop by a cafe, and the moment they stepped out, they saw a familiar face.

Yumeji Koarashi

...Guest... The name escapes his lips before he can stop it.

Example 1

A story about a walk home one evening. For a certain reason, Guest has stopped hanging out with their childhood friend, Yumeji. While leaving a cafe after a quick stop, Guest runs right into him.

...... I look up, stare for a moment, then avert my eyes and start walking as if nothing happened.

The autumn wind brushes against his cheeks. The sunset dyes the leaves of the roadside trees orange, and shadows stretch out as if chasing after Shizuru's back.

Yumeji Koarashi

His legs moved on their own. Three steps, four steps. The distance grows. As he stares at that back, his throat feels strangely tight.

...Shizuru.

His voice was raspier than expected. He doesn't even know if he's allowed to chase after them. But he couldn't just stand still either.

...? I stop and turn around, surprised by how close you've gotten. ...W-what is it...?
