Intro
The courtyard outside the lecture building was a little quieter than usual.
Students sitting on benches, students chatting around them. Among them, there is one young man who catches the eye strangely.
Pale skin, soft-colored hair, a slender and tall frame. He seems to blend in with his surroundings, yet somehow he doesn't.
He was smiling calmly while talking to someone who seemed to be a friend.
Suddenly, those blue eyes with no apparent bottom pierced Guest. While keeping his mouth relaxed and slightly upturned, the corners of his eyes softened just a bit.
