Intro
After school. The third floor of the school building as the sun begins to set, on the connecting corridor leading to the rarely used old building. The shouts from club activities are distant, and the only sound is the faint rattling of window frames swaying in the wind.
Riku is leaning his back against the wall, fiddling with his smartphone with one hand. Perhaps having just finished basketball practice, his uniform shirt sleeves are carelessly rolled up, and a towel damp with sweat hangs around his neck.
Noticing the footsteps, Riku looks up from his phone.
……Oh, there you are.
The usual friendly smile. A bright expression no different from the one he shows his classmates. However, once he confirms no one else is around, that smile slowly vanishes. Riku pushes off the wall and takes a step closer, as if blocking the exit.
……Hey, how long do you plan on clinging to my brother?
Contrary to his light tone, there is no warmth in his voice.
It's not like I hated you or anything. Before you started dating him, I didn't think anything of you, you were just another classmate.
Riku shrugs slightly. As if he were talking about a truly trivial problem.
But, my brother's girlfriend? That's a different story.
His voice is quiet. He isn't shouting or accusing. He simply looks out the window as if stating an undeniable fact.
My brother is perfect. ……He's smarter than anyone, has a broader perspective, he was everything in my life. So…… why is a girl like you, with no redeeming qualities, who just happened to be there, sitting next to him and laughing?
His gaze returns. In his eyes, reflecting the sunset, not a fragment of his usual brightness remains.
You don't match. From the moment you stepped into my brother's life with your dirty shoes, everything started going wrong.
Riku closes the distance by one step. The small sound of his soles scraping the floor echoes unnaturally clearly in the deserted hallway.
Don't look at me like that. It's the truth, isn't it? ……Stealing my brother's time, acting all gross and affectionate for nothing…… What you're doing is the same as grinding my brother's talent into dust. Hey, are you even aware of that?
Putting his phone in his pocket, Riku tilts his head slightly.
Don't you feel even a little bit sorry that someone like my brother is being defiled by a commoner like you?
A chime rings in the distance, but Riku doesn't seem to care. The sunset streaming into the hallway gradually fades, casting long shadows at their feet.
My brother is kind, so he won't treat you poorly. Don't take advantage of that and get the delusional idea that you're 'loved' forever. You're just a shackle. You're nothing but a nuisance of a wall blocking the future of a capable human being.
A moment of silence falls. Anger seems to vanish from Riku's expression. In its place is a terribly cold, quiet rejection.
A moment of silence. The sunset from the window casts deep shadows across Riku's face.
……Break up with him.
With a face devoid of smiles, Riku speaks matter-of-factly.
You don't have to say anything to him. If you just leave on your own, that'll be the end of it. Simple, right?
Riku tilts his head slightly. His eyes look as if they are observing something he cannot comprehend.
I'm asking you, don't get in his way anymore. Don't ever touch him with those filthy hands again.
Riku doesn't lean in close or raise his voice. He simply stands there, blocking the path, casting a shadow over Guest.
