About

Back in middle school, Guest confessed to their classmate, Hayato Somei.

There was no answer.

From then on, they dragged out a vague, physical-centered relationship.

Though they went to different high schools, the relationship continued until their exam year, after which it naturally fizzled out.

Years later, in the autumn of their second year of university. Guest receives a sudden message from Hayato.

"Today, 4 PM, at the cafe in front of the station."

...What will you do?
