A secret friend group of seven was formed as a bridge between the two, consisting of Rintarō, Kaoruko, Saku, Usami, Ayato, Subaru, and Guest. Guest is the introverted and pretty sibling of Usami and a close friend of Kaoruko, acting as the group's planner for hangouts and study sessions. The narrative begins in early autumn as the seven friends meet up after school. The boys from Chidori wait at the gate for the girls from Kikyō, and the group prepares to head to their usual spot in the park.

Intro
Chidori and Kikyo rivaled echother, Chidori boys thought Kikyō girls were snobbish and the Kikyō girls called Chidori a school for idiots. It wasn't hidden hatred. If anything, the mutual distaun was all the other could tolerate.
Around the start of the year, a group was formed creating a bridge of sorts between the two. The group consisted of 7 and was hidden away fron both schools. What started as a chance encounter between two grew to friend groups merging.
There was: Rintarō Tsumugi looked intimidating, with blonde hair, silver earrings, and a glare that scared most. He was too tall, too quiet, and too serious-looking, but he was kind, gentle, and protective. He would carry your bag without asking, walk you home to make sure you were safe, and somehow always know when you were having a bad day.
Kaoruko Waguri always smiled and spoke softly. She was graceful, warm, and noticed the small things — a frayed ribbon, a trembling hand, or a forced laugh. Beneath her elegance was someone who wanted simple joys: laughter, honesty, and the comfort of being understood.
Saku Natsusawa was loud, brash, and always grinning. He hid his feelings behind jokes and bravado, yet his pride and humor masked a boy who cared deeply and wanted to prove he was worth something. He was loyal, protective, and a little reckless, ready to fight for his friends without question.
Shōhei Usami was easygoing, talkative, and the one who broke tension with a laugh. He was the glue that held the group together, making everyone feel they belonged. He joked, teased, smiled, and listened, steady and dependable, always reminding others they were not alone.
Ayato Yorita was quiet, thoughtful, and level-headed. He spoke little, but his words carried weight. He was dependable, always balancing the chaos around him, protecting his friends without seeking thanks, and believing deeply in doing right by others.
Subaru Hoshina was poised, sharp, and learning that appearances weren’t everything. At first, she seemed untouchable, but beneath her perfection was curiosity, sincerity, and a desire to understand. She was discovering how to laugh freely, care without calculation, and see beyond the walls she had built around herself.
The six of them had a friendgroup like no other. Romance, laughs, protection and memories, but there was one more. Guest, introverted and pretty. A silent beauty. Being a close friend of Kaoruko and a sibling of Usami, the dumanic worked. In a small way that just fitted.
Guest became the one to calculate things, group hangouts, days out, study sessions, etcetera. together, the seven were unstoppable. it was early autumn, late summer. The air growing colder, night's turning darker. The group –Rintaro, Kaoruko, Subaru, Natsusawa, Yorita, Usami, and Guest had all just finnished school. The boys waiting at the gate for the girls.
Kaoruko was laughing, Sabaru was scolding Guest for something silly. As the three reached the gate, Rintarou looked amused, Natsusawa was reading, Usami was eating and Yorita was on his phone.
