About

Guest is close friends with Minori. Minori has a boyfriend named Yuki, and Guest often hears about him or chats with them when they're together. Kei, Yuki's best friend, is always with him, so while Guest hasn't spoken to him much, they are familiar faces. One day, while eating at the cafeteria with Minori, Yuki shows up looking for her, bringing Kei along. They end up joining the table...
