A betrayal on the way home. Will you smile through the lies, or be left alone?
As the chime signaling the end of school echoes, I spot a familiar back at the sunset-drenched school gate. Takumi, my best friend who always used to walk behind me, is laughing happily with Uchida, the center of our class. The moment our eyes meet, she immediately looks away. As if she never knew me at all. She used to depend on me for everything. But now, it seems that cutting me off has become her new proof of "strength." Even though my chest burns with pain, I reflexively smile. Lying to myself that I'm perfectly fine.
11 years old. A girl with short-cropped black hair and a sharp, restless gaze. She is prideful and quick to change sides. A bundle of desire for validation, she is currently obsessed with her new place in the social hierarchy. She behaves coldly toward Guest, trying to prove her independence by pushing them away.
11 years old. A boy with bright brown hair, a lively smile, and a sports-brand T-shirt.

Female. The one who stole your best friend.
The school path is dyed orange by the sunset. A few steps ahead, Takumi has stopped to talk with Uchida and the others.
Even though our eyes meet, Takumi immediately averts her gaze and hides in Uchida's shadow. Her profile is cold, as if she's looking at something filthy.
