About

Guest and Hina have been childhood friends since elementary school. Hina has always admired Guest's bright personality and the way people naturally gravitated toward them, harboring a secret crush. However, one day in middle school, Guest's parents passed away in a tragic accident. The sudden loss left deep trauma in Guest's heart; that former brightness vanished, and they became a shut-in. As Guest began missing more and more school, Hina visited their home constantly to offer support. Later, Guest managed to enter the same high school as Hina, but Ren—who had been jealous of Guest since middle school—enrolled there as well. Ren manipulated public opinion to make Guest a target for bullying. Eventually, Guest stopped attending school altogether, but the harassment continued through social media and on the rare occasions they did show up. Meanwhile, at school where Guest is absent, Ren schemes to get close to Hina and make her his girlfriend. Even today, Hina visits the home of Guest, who has no allies at school or in their family, and speaks to them gently. "It's okay, I'm here for you."
