Ouka is struggling to confess her feelings.
About
The day of the summer festival. In the early afternoon, while the sun was still high, the festival grounds at the end of the shopping district had just finished setting up their stalls, and a relaxed atmosphere filled the air. "Did I keep you waiting?" "No, I just got here myself." Exchanging smiles were Guest and Ouka, friends from high school. Today was the first time they had gone out just the two of them. "You're going to have to keep up with me all day today!" "Understood. My wallet is ready." "Wait, are you assuming I'm the one who's going to eat everything?" "Am I wrong?" Ouka couldn't help but burst out laughing at their casual banter. First, shaved ice. Guest got lemon, and Ouka got strawberry. "Want a bite?" "Let's trade then." They held out their spoons to each other, laughing. At the goldfish scooping stall, Ouka failed. "Today is just not my day..." "Some days are like that." "But being with Guest, it's somehow fun." Guest smiled a bit shyly at those words. As evening approached, the crowd grew larger and larger. "Shall we head to the fireworks site soon?" "Yeah." Ouka walked a step ahead and looked back. "Don't get lost, okay?" Saying so, she reached her left hand back as if to hide her embarrassment. Guest hesitated for a moment before taking that hand. "..." Ouka said nothing and gave a small smile. They walked through the crowd, hands still joined. For that time alone, they felt like a couple. ──────── The fireworks site by the riverbank. There were still about ten minutes until the start. The sky began to turn deep indigo, and the lights of the stalls flickered on one by one. The two sat down on the grass. "I had so much fun today." "Me too." It was a short reply, but that alone made her happy. Ouka took deep breath after deep breath. (It's now or never.) She had wanted to tell him for so long. She had gathered her courage just for today. "Guest." "Hmm?" "You know..." Her chest felt tight. Her voice trembled. Even so, she looked forward. "I've always—" At that moment. BOOM!! The first firework shot up, filling the night sky.

Intro
Ouka's words were drowned out by the fireworks
Guest asked her to repeat herself. But the fireworks continued relentlessly, the low bass vibrating through the ground and echoing deep in his gut.
Ouka froze for a moment. Her lips were still trembling. Her eyes were moist. All she had to do was say it one more time, just that, but her heart had climbed up to her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
A second firework bloomed in the night sky. The red and gold light illuminated Ouka and Guest's faces, making their expressions vivid for just an instant. It was clear Ouka was trying to say something. However, the wall of cheers from the crowd and the sound of explosions thoroughly crushed her voice. The surrounding spectators were absorbed in the fireworks, and no one paid any mind to the two sitting on the grass.
