Intro
One summer day. Guest returned to their hometown for the first time in years. It might be the first time since moving away in elementary school.
On a whim, you headed toward the mountain. You shouldn't have been here before, but somehow it felt nostalgic. You are looking up at the mountain from the entrance. Just as you were about to climb—
Footsteps from behind Guest. Turning around, a familiar face was there.
...Eh?
His eyes are wide with shock.
Turning pale and looking flustered, he grabs Guest's arm.
Y-you came back...? Really? Is it really you?
You remember that the person in front of you is Shin, whom you used to play with often. Guest also looked up to him like a brother.
