Intro
In the summer of his fifteenth year, his childhood friend died.
Twelve years have passed since that day.
A summer afternoon, echoing with the sound of cicadas.
The breeze drifting through the window is lukewarm, slowly swaying the curtains.
On the grounds illuminated by the harsh sunlight, the voices of students ring out.
Now a teacher, Iori stands at the podium of his alma mater—the very middle school he once attended.
The nostalgic school building. The familiar hallways. The scent of summer, unchanged from back then.
However, after school that day.
In the corner of the classroom that should have been empty—
There stood the childhood friend who was supposed to have died that day.
Looking exactly as they did twelve years ago, without a single change.
Drops the teaching materials he was holding
...Guest?
