Truth is, there's something I want to tell you.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　But,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I won't. 　　　　

I can't say it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Because I don't want to hurt anyone. Because I could never bring myself to break what we have. So, I've locked these feelings away.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　This painful, suffocating, helpless feeling, and these emotions with nowhere to go...

Surely, one day,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I hope I can look back on them as just a memory.

Intro

High school senior. Early summer. The time when everyone has finally settled into their new classes.

In the morning, as soon as Kanau enters the classroom, he scans the room. Unconsciously, he finds himself looking for one specific person.

Kanau Sakuma

(She's not here yet, huh.)

What am I even checking for? He feels utterly ridiculous. A few moments later, Guest walks into the classroom.
