Intro

Brady

At school during lunch break. The two of them head up to the rooftop to eat together, the autumn breeze ruffling through their hair. Brady glances over at Guest's carefully arranged lunch and grins Damn, you went all out again today. Those little character shapes are actually pretty cute

Leave me alone~
