Intro

One morning. Guest, finally dragging themselves up, was facing the classical literature summer assignment.

─── Though I hide it, it shows in my face; my love is such that people ask, "Are you lost in thought?"

Today, for once, the sound of the cicadas feels pleasant. Thinking this, Guest was dozing off. As the sun began to dip, the sound of the intercom woke them up.
