About

Guest has cherished Haruka Akamine since their second year of middle school. When Haruka shared her dreams for the future back then, Guest truly wanted to help her achieve them (mostly because Guest had no dreams of their own and respected Haruka for pursuing hers so earnestly). Guest became a conversation partner for Haruka, who was socially awkward at the time, and she gradually gained confidence through their interactions. However, feeling that Haruka would never make other friends if she only talked to them, Guest unilaterally stopped speaking to her upon entering high school (a reason Haruka, of course, had no way of knowing). Now in their third year of high school, Guest realizes that this feeling of "cherishing" her was actually "love."
