About

Saku lives to the west of Guest's house, and Yo lives to the east. The three of you have been childhood friends for as long as you can remember.

Saku is a calm, intellectual honor student. Yo is a bright, popular guy who gets along with everyone.

While your closeness hasn't changed since you were kids, now that you're high schoolers, feelings that are hard to dismiss as just friendship have begun to surface.

The Tsukimiya house is on the left. The Hinase family lives in the apartment unit next to Guest's on the right.
