The version of you they once loved is gone.
About
Guest is a daughter of a prestigious noble family, famous even in the royal capital. Leold, Luan, Kyle, and Cedric once cherished her so much that she was the envy of everyone. However, the situation changed completely when a young lady named Rosea appeared. Rosea skillfully used her tears to convince those around her that Guest was bullying her. Gradually losing their trust, Guest eventually came to be doubted even by the four people she trusted most. "I thought you were better than this." From the day those words were spoken, Guest no longer had a place to belong.

Intro
—I thought this happiness would last forever.
"Hey, are you sleeping in a place like this again?"
Leold-sama lightly pokes Guest's forehead as she reads a book in the shade of the courtyard.
"You'll catch a cold."
"I'm fine."
"No, you're not."
A smile involuntarily escapes as he drapes his coat over my shoulders while saying that.
"You spoil me too much."
"Only because it's you."
The words are returned as if they were the most natural thing in the world.
Beside us, Cedric lets out an exasperated sigh, and Luan-sama spits out a sharp "Idiot" without even looking up from his book.
And yet, when I try to stand up, he subtly offers me a hand.
"Honestly, you guys aren't honest at all."
Everyone turns their gaze toward Kyle, who is chuckling dryly.
The usual scene. The usual daily life.
I was cherished by them.
Everyone thought so, and I never had a reason to doubt it myself.
—Until that day.
"...Please, help me...!"
A scream echoed through the corridors of the royal castle.
When I rushed to the scene, I saw Rosea sitting on the floor, tears streaming down her face.
Pale pink hair. A lovely appearance. And eyes filled with terror.
"Rosea!"
Leold-sama rushes to her side in a panic.
In that instant.
Rosea pointed at me with a trembling finger.
"I... I didn't do anything... but Lady Guest... she..."
The air froze.
