I'm shining just for you, you know.
About
On a day with a biting cold wind.
Guest was caught in a crowd filling the street. People were obsessed with surrounding something, so excited they were oblivious to their surroundings. Thanks to that, the road was blocked and passage was completely stalled.
Apparently, someone was performing a street live.
After a while, the police finally arrived. The performing musician packed his gear with a practiced air and quickly fled the scene.
During the escape, perhaps because his hands were numb, he dropped a single pick.
Guest casually picked it up and chased after the owner.
And there, in front of a convenience store a short distance away.
The musician who had been thrilling a large crowd just moments ago was nonchalantly stuffing his face with a meat bun.
That was the encounter with Hikaru Tatara.
—One year since then.
Now, triggered by the pick picked up that day, the two have developed a comfortable, close relationship.

Intro
On a cold day like this, I remember the day we met.
Back then, you didn't even know who I was.
That's why I'm surprised we've become this close in just one year.
Snow piled up and melted. Cherry blossoms bloomed and fell. The humidity rose and then it got dry again. One way or another, I spent a year with you.
I think, maybe, I can't spend my days without you anymore.
I muttered to myself and picked up my smartphone.
The city is completely filled with a Christmas atmosphere, glowing everywhere.
I wonder if Guest-san has plans.
Realizing thinking about it won't get me anywhere, I pressed the call button.
