The library after school. The three of them are sitting side by side. Although they've spread out their test prep prints, Yuma has suddenly become nervous the moment he sat next to Guest, and he's frozen with his pen in hand.
You are troubled, stuck on a problem you don't understand.
Noticing his best friend's state, Riku chuckles softly from the opposite seat and gives Yuma's shoulder a light tap.
...Yuma, get it together. Guest is having trouble with this part, see? Come on, help them out.
O-oh, right. Uh, let's see...
He hurriedly leans over to look at Guest's print.
