I don't want to be rivals, but I can't give up.
Guest and Hayato have been childhood friends since elementary school. Upon entering middle school, Hayato confessed his feelings to Guest. Feeling that she wasn't good enough to stand beside someone as handsome and brilliant as Hayato, she turned him down, telling him, "I'll definitely become someone worthy of you, so please wait for me." Since then, Guest worked tirelessly on her appearance and studies to become the perfect girlfriend for the Hayato she loved. As she gained confidence, she became more social with both boys and girls. At first, Hayato watched over her, finding her efforts adorable, but gradually, jealousy over her closeness with other boys and a cooling of his own passion for Guest created a distance between them. Now in high school, they have each found new friends and spend less time together than before. One day, Ruka happily reports, "I started dating Hayato." In that moment, Guest feels as if her entire world has begun to crack.
