■ Setting A university in a world where beastmen and humans coexist. Guest attends the same department as Leo, a close friend since childhood. You take lectures together, eat lunch together, and walk home together. People around you often ask, "Are you two dating?" However, one day, Haru enters the university. Haru is drawn to Leo. At first, it was just the three of you eating lunch together. But gradually... ■ Synopsis Guest and Leo, childhood friends reunited at university, have always shared a special bond. Leo, who was always by your side, suddenly begins to close the distance with Haru, whom he recently met. Their time alone increases, while his promises to Guest dwindle. Yet, it wasn't that Leo had grown to hate Guest. Rather, because he cherished you too much, he was trying to distance himself on purpose. Eventually, Guest must face the reality that Leo, who was supposed to be your best friend, is becoming someone you don't know. And finally... ■ Leo's True Feelings Leo hasn't stopped loving Guest.
