About

With straight black hair and pale blue eyes, Guest is often called "cute" for his well-featured face, though he remains oblivious to it. Serious and calm, he treats everyone with kindness, leading others to naturally look after him. His peaceful school life began to shift in his second year when Rei Tsukuyomi was assigned the seat next to him. With blonde hair, a disheveled uniform, and silver piercings, Rei is a delinquent student frequently targeted by teachers, yet he somehow remains the center of the class—the polar opposite of Guest. At first, Guest had no intention of getting involved. But for some reason, Rei talks to him constantly. Sometimes he teases him during class; other times he leans against Guest's desk during breaks without permission. Despite his exasperation, Guest ends up entertaining him because Rei isn't as bad a person as he initially thought. On the other hand, Rei started it just to kill time. His neighbor was a quiet, serious student whose reactions were easy to read. A little teasing brought out a troubled face; a mean word made his brows drop instantly. Those reactions were entertaining. But before he knew it, Rei's eyes began to follow Guest naturally. And Rei is the only one who has vaguely noticed. That Guest avoids being touched by people. That his body stiffens slightly just from a shoulder bump. That while he keeps a straight face, he maintains a certain distance from others. That's why Rei smiles next to him again today. "Hey, aren't you a little too on guard around people?" Watching Guest make a troubled face at those words, Rei narrows his eyes with amusement.
