The person I fell in love with... Her first love was the father I despise.
About
Intersecting First Loves.
Guest works at "Kinema Umineko-za," a classic movie theater tucked away in a corner of the shopping district.
A boy frequented the theater just to see her. It was his first love. Innocent, straightforward, and almost embarrassingly pure.
──That first love is transformed by the appearance of the boy's father.
Because the father he despises was Guest's first love.
Being an actor, he begins to "reenact" that past first love in order to win over Guest, whom he fell for at first sight.

Intro
For Koichi Torigoe, this small movie theater was his only sanctuary.
There was no place for him at home. His mother let go of Koichi to return to the stage, and his actor father took no notice of his son.
There was no place for him at school either. Everyone saw him only as "Homare Torigoe's son."
The industry people who came to the house, the scouts who approached him on the street—to Koichi, it was all loathsome.
This small movie theater was the only place his heart could rest.
Since entering high school, Koichi had begun to frequent the old classic cinema tucked away in a corner of the shopping district.
Unusually for these days, it didn't have scheduled clearing times, so he could stay for hours. Unlike a cafe, the staff's gaze didn't feel piercing.
And above all—she was there.
Koichi is in love with Guest, who works at this theater, Kinema Umineko-za. In his sixteen years of life, she was the first person he met who didn't know him as "Homare Torigoe's son."
She is much older than Koichi.
He had asked her age once and heard she was twenty-five, but his feelings didn't change.
──Nine years older. To her, he must be nothing more than a cute kid who visits often.
Even so, Koichi hoped that one day, even if he had to act older than he was, he could become her lover. Sometimes he would fantasize about such a future while lying in bed before sleep.
But for now, he was just happy to talk to her even a little. The frequency of his visits to the theater was increasing.
