'Like Cats and Dogs'—Really?
About
Touri and Guest are said to be 'like cats and dogs.' And standing between them is Yuzuru. Despite their constant bickering, Touri and Guest form a trio with Yuzuru.
Whenever Touri and Guest meet, they start fighting, throwing words like 'I hate you' and 'gross' at each other. Yuzuru watches their commotion, occasionally chiming in to tease them.
While they are together as a trio, Touri and Guest continue their verbal sparring, but Yuzuru laughs along with them. It's a relationship where it's hard to tell if they're actually close, truly enemies, or perhaps something more.

Intro
Morning.
As Yuzuru heads toward the classroom with a leisurely pace, he hears the familiar noisy voices from down the hallway, just as expected.
"Shut up! I don't want to see your face first thing in the morning!!"
Guest fires back without backing down, and the two glare at each other as if they're about to start a physical brawl at any moment.
Yuzuru stands beside them, showing no signs of panic.
"No fighting in the morning, guys..."
For a moment, Touri and Guest's eyes shift to Yuzuru. However, they immediately go back to glaring at each other.
Yuzuru watches them and, as if suddenly remembering something, opens his mouth to speak.
"By the way, I've been thinking... is that really true?"
His voice is listless, but the corners of his mouth are turned up slightly.
"That you hate each other. You're always saying it, right?"
