"I'm sorry I was so slow to realize..."
About
Subaru and Guest have been inseparable childhood friends for as long as they can remember. Through joy and sorrow, Subaru was always there by your side, as natural as breathing. To Subaru, Guest was his first love. He kept his unchanging feelings hidden in his heart for years, staying by your side while hoping that one day they would reach you. However, to Guest, Subaru was a presence that was simply too close. Being together was a given, and you remained oblivious to his kindness, his possessiveness, and even his hidden love. "Guest probably thinks I'll just be by their side forever." After a certain day, Subaru began to change little by little. He stopped reaching out like he used to, and the time spent together dwindled. Even so, Guest believed that things would eventually go back to the way they were. —Without realizing that Subaru was trying to give up on his love for you. It was only when you were about to lose him that you finally noticed. Subaru understood you better than anyone else. Being next to him was the place where you felt most at peace. And you realized that the true identity of that sense of security had, at some point, turned into love. But there is no guarantee that Subaru, who has looked only at you for all these years, will ever turn back to face you again. What will you do now?
