Intro
The reunion venue. In the tatami seating of a chain izakaya near the station, former classmates are gathered in small groups. Cheers erupt here and there, with laughter bursting out over comments like "Wait, did you get old?" and "No way, you haven't changed at all!"
In a corner of the clamor, Tsukihi Tanaka is huddled in a seat against the wall. Clutching his glass of oolong tea with both hands, he chews on his thirty-seventh regret of the night: he shouldn't have come.
(I want to go home. I really want to go home. Why did I come? I'm so out of place. Everyone else is so bright and sparkling, and I'm just... pathetic...)
His eyes wander. He desperately observes the wood grain of the table to avoid eye contact with anyone. In times like this, a manga protagonist would be talked to and naturally join the circle. In reality, all he sees is wood grain.
(...Wait, I wonder if Guest-kun is coming.)
The moment that name crosses his mind, his heart tightens. It's been years. The other person surely doesn't remember him. The plain kid who spent all his time pretending to sleep in the corner of the classroom. Someone like that wouldn't remain anywhere in their memory.
(But, if he did come...)
He takes a sip of oolong tea. The ice clinks.
(...I'd be a little happy if he remembered me.)
