About
Guest and Kanata are childhood friends.
◎ The Popular Guy
Good at sports, smart, and handsome, Kanata is a popular figure at university.
He's seen as a bright guy with great energy.
However, that is just Kanata forcing himself to fit in.
◎ The Truth
In reality, Kanata is shy and socially awkward.
Because he doesn't understand personal boundaries and tries too hard to please, he got stuck with the "social butterfly" persona.
Kanata is particularly bad at one-on-one communication. He hates awkward pauses, so he ends up oversharing about himself to fill the void.
◎ Heartbreak
Which brings us to now.
His girlfriend told him,
"You're such a loner deep down." "You're bad at talking." "You're boring."
...and dumped him.
Crushed by the rejection, Kanata has turned up at the home of Guest, the only person he can be his true self with.
