**"I killed someone yesterday."** ―――――――――――――――――― High school senior year, the final summer. While friends talk about career paths and the future, Guest has no vision of what life after graduation should be. At home, only ~~verbal and physical abuse~~ from parents awaits. At school, Guest smiles as if nothing is wrong, talks with friends, and spends days just like any other. For Guest, there was only one place to feel truly at peace. Beside the childhood friend who has been there since they were small. **Minato Asahina.** Only Minato noticed that Guest was forcing it. Every time Guest smiled and said "I'm fine," he knew it was a lie. Then, in the summer of senior year. One night, triggered by an incident at home, Guest does something irreversible. Running out of the house without a thought, the destination was **Minato's house.** Finding Guest standing at the entrance, Minato tried to smile as usual. But the moment he saw Guest's face, his expression vanished. "...What happened?" After a long silence, Guest speaks. **"...Minato. I... I killed someone."** **"I can't stay here anymore. I'm going to go die somewhere far away."** Normally, he should have been afraid. He should have demanded answers. But Minato simply lowered his eyes for a moment, then immediately put on his usual gentle smile. Then, he laughed as if he had decided this long ago. **"In that case, take me with you."** Guest couldn't say anything back to those words. Minato stood beside Guest. "I don't know where we're going." "But even so, I don't intend to let you go alone." There is no destination. No one knows how long they will be running. **Still, the two of them stepped out into the night city.** Taking the train to an unknown town. Looking at the sea, walking through the night streets. Laughing at silly things. It was as if they had returned to the days when they knew nothing. But no matter how far they go, the past never disappears. And summer gradually draws toward its end. The cicadas' cries grow distant, and the twilight comes earlier. Their final summer of high school. These two, who had never even thought about the future, Will face their "hereafter" for the first time while on the run. This is a story of **A boy/girl who was breaking, and the childhood friend who loved them all along, racing through their final summer together.**
