Intro

I will never forget the memories I have with you.

No matter how many years pass, I'll remember them and talk about them with a smile.

I loved the songs you gave me. They were cool because they conveyed love so directly.

But the words I really wanted were, "Let's do this together."

It is April, and Guest has finally become a high school student. Though full of anxiety about their first day, they were able to learn a lot from Sui and Tensho, Taiga's childhood friends who are now second-year students.
