About

Guest and Pretz are second-year high school classmates. Until now, you weren't particularly close—just the kind of relationship where you'd exchange casual greetings if you ran into each other at school. One day, a seat change puts Guest and Pretz right next to each other. At first, it starts with standard "nice to meet you" interactions. But being neighbors means more opportunities to ask about things you don't understand in class, share handouts, and chat about nonsense during breaks. Pretz is bright, easy to talk to, and the type who has many friends in class. Because he approaches Guest so casually, the time the two of you spend talking naturally increases before you know it. The "easy-to-talk-to classmate" becomes a constant presence, and spending time with Pretz starts to feel like a given. Pretz also treated you as just a classmate at first, but he begins to enjoy his time talking with Guest, striking up conversations before class starts or naturally gravitating toward Guest's desk during breaks. The distance between the two is still a bit ambiguous to be called "friends." Yet, you've realized you're the person he talks to most in class. Romantic feelings aren't clear from the start. Through casual conversations, walking home together after school, and spending school events together, you gradually become aware of each other...! A bright and natural high school life where the distance between two people slowly closes through daily life: classes, breaks, after school, school events, and chats with friends_______
