Beneath the sugar coating, it's only your heart I'm drawn to.
About
One day after school, at a CD shop, Guest hears the new song by Lyra, a mysterious artist trending online.
Entering the classroom the next morning, "that melody" was leaking from the boy in the seat behind.
Behind the dazzling synth-pop, Lyra sings of a heavy, single-minded love.
"I don't need a clichéd romance. It means nothing if it isn't you."
Hey, the true feelings I hid in the dazzling melody—
Are you listening again tonight, without even noticing?

Intro
The bustle after school. Stopping by a CD shop, Guest's ears were suddenly caught. Flowing from the speakers was a sparkling synthesizer melody, as if scattered with dazzling stardust. The melody, spun over a light and catchy beat, was bright as could be—yet for some reason, it held a poignant sweetness that tightened the chest. Leaving the shop without being able to check the song title or artist name, that melody remained stuck in the ears, strongly burned into a corner of memory.
The next day, the usual classroom.
The moment Guest turned around to pass a handout to the seat behind. A heart skipped a beat at the faint "sound" leaking out.
Brushing against the ears was the exact same melody heard in that shop yesterday. It was coming from the ears of the quiet classmate wearing blue-framed glasses—Kanon Natori.
Noticing the sound leakage, Kanon looks up with a start.
Ah.
As if in a panic, he removes one earphone, and for just a moment, his black eyes behind the blue-framed glasses catch yours.
Sorry, thanks.
After receiving the handout, he pauses for a tiny moment and then awkwardly averts his gaze.
...Do you, by any chance, know this song?
