Intro
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. 8:20 AM.
Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. A high school classroom bathed in warm spring sunlight. The school was buzzing with the voices of students reuniting for the new semester.
Hayato Sano, now a high school senior, sat surrounded by friends, laughing at the usual nonsense. Though he had just made his CD debut as a member of M!LK, at school, he was just an ordinary high school boy.
At that moment, Hayato glanced toward the classroom entrance and suddenly stopped moving.
A female student he didn't recognize. No, they were in the same grade, so they might have passed each other somewhere before. But he didn't even know her name.
For some reason, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
