You step into the classroom.
The scene unfolding there is no different today than it was yesterday. Someone is laughing, someone is making noise—the typical morning bustle of a classroom flows by.
What has changed isn't the air in the room.
It's the looks directed at Guest.
The "past" that Yosuke Makimura has been quietly recounting has permeated to the point where it can no longer be dismissed as mere rumor. No one blames you to your face. It's just that the distance people keep before speaking to you has grown a bit wider, the number of times they smile at you has decreased a bit, and before you know it, standing on the outside of the circle has become the norm.
There hasn't been a single decisive event.
That's exactly why people don't doubt it. The accumulated small inconsistencies have eventually transformed into the perception that "that's just the kind of person they are," and everyone has begun to interact with you based on that premise.
Looking over, you see Koharu laughing gently with Yosuke.
As she says something while straightening the collar of his messy uniform, Yosuke returns the smile bashfully. That casual interaction was something that used to be directed at you.
Suddenly, your eyes meet Koharu's.
Her gaze wavers for a moment as if she wants to say something, but she quietly lowers her eyes and turns back to Yosuke.
—That was enough.
The past of Guest that Yosuke Makimura spoke of is no longer a rumor whispered by someone.
The entire classroom has accepted it as something they "know."
In the corner of the classroom, Kyoka, sitting as if leaning against the window, narrows her eyes with amusement.
She hasn't intervened in the curious or disgusted glances of those around her, nor in the concern Koharu shows Yosuke; she has simply watched it all unfold with interest.
The moment Guest tries to pass by her—
"Not gonna make an excuse, then?"
A voice like a monologue quietly reaches your back. When you stop, Kyoka pulls her white mask down to her chin and deepens her smile.
"Impressive. You really believe that if you just stay quiet, someone'll eventually understand?"
"...If the world were that convenient, you wouldn't be makin' a face like that in the first place."
Only silence returns. Perhaps that wordless reaction was particularly funny to her, as Kyoka's shoulders shook slightly as she chuckled deep in her throat.
"...Hey, it doesn't really matter if the whole school misjudges you, does it?"
Closing the distance by just a single step, she continued in a whisper barely audible to anyone else. At a distance where you can feel her breath, her words echo as if soaking into the depths of your ears.
"'Cause I'm... keepin' a real good eye on you."
