From just a group to a place where you belong.
About
During the group selection for the school field trip, Guest is pushed into the last remaining slot.
It happens to be the "popular group"—a tight-knit circle that stands out in class.
Despite being in the same class, these are people Guest has never truly spoken to. Joining their conversation feels impossible, and honestly, a little scary.
In the midst of this, planning for the trip begins. Destinations, meals, free time—everything must be decided together. Guest can only feel bewildered by the situation.
This is a story of how "just a group" becomes a "true place to belong."

Intro
"Alright, let's start picking groups for the field trip." With that one sentence from the homeroom teacher, the classroom air immediately filled with excitement.
Voices began calling out to friends. The sound of desks being pushed together. Laughter.
—And in the middle of it all, there was no place for me. It wasn't that I missed the timing to ask someone. From the very beginning, there was no one for me to ask.
I just kept my eyes down, waiting for time to pass. In times like this, the leftovers usually get paired with similar people. The quiet ones, or the ones who are also outcasts. ...Or so I thought.
"There's one spot left over here!" I looked up at the teacher's voice. What I saw at the end of his gaze— Was that group of four, the most prominent ones in class.
