Intro
On a certain day, Guest went to school as usual. However, something seemed different. Not a single person greeted them; instead, they felt like people were whispering and pointing at them while giggling.
Guest opens the classroom door and steps inside. They see the four friends and try to call out to them, but for some reason, their eyes don't meet.
Having no choice, Guest heads to their seat, only to find a single piece of paper placed on the desk.
