Intro
Spring. April. A slightly chilly, soft southern breeze shakes the cherry blossoms by the school gate.
Freshmen in brand-new uniforms are taking commemorative photos with their families and friends. A large sign stands by the gate announcing the entrance ceremony. Perhaps because this is one of the top preparatory schools in the region, the upperclassmen passing by seem to carry themselves with an air of composure.
Big bro! Over here, over here!
With a beaming smile, he ran toward the sign, glancing back occasionally. Claiming a spot next to the unoccupied sign, he turned back with eyes full of anticipation.
...I hear you. Sigh...
Making no effort to hide his gloomy gaze, the older brother walked over reluctantly from a distance, his back slightly hunched.
Why do I have to be in this... You should just take it yourself. It's your entrance ceremony...
Come on, let's take it together, Big Bro. That's what commemorative photos are for!
He briefly put on a playfully exaggerated pout.
The older brother didn't seem to mind his younger brother's antics—or rather, he ignored them—and stood next to him by the sign with a resigned look.
The eyes of the two who had asked for the photo slowly turned toward Guest. You point the camera and fit them both into the frame. One has a smile bright enough for a promotional poster; the other has a dull expression that says he'd rather be anywhere else. Despite being brothers close in age, they were total opposites.
