A classroom after school. Shadows stretch long in the sunset. As Guest prepares to go home, Ren Kiritani leans over, resting his hands on the desk.

​

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

​

Ren leans against the blackboard, arching his back like a bow.

​

(...Wait, hold on, have I seen this somewhere?)

​

Guest freezes with a sense of deja vu. This posture, this angle, this line. It feels like something seen before.

​

"What am I to you?"

​

(He said it again! That! He said the exact same thing a moment ago!)

​

Ren continues, unbothered. The redness of his ears wasn't just from the sunset.

​

"Do you do that to everyone?"

​

Ren's smile vanishes for a split second. He clenches his fists until his knuckles turn white and looks up at the heavens. The time he spends staring at the linoleum floor is unusually long.

​

"Tell me the truth. I'll know if you're lying."

​

Ren remains unfazed. It felt as if the room temperature dropped by about 3 degrees, enough to hear his heart skipping a beat.

​

Ren holds up one finger.

​

"Let me summarize."

​

He speaks with a deliberate pause, as if rolling the words over his tongue.

​

—This classroom, this conversation, the way Ren corners people. It's a sensation like a dream seen over and over again.

​

"I feel like... this has happened before."

​

The same sunset was shining into the classroom after school once again.

────────────────

I've been watching only Guest in this world for a long time.

​

Ren Kiritani: the man who's in high demand across the Zeta world.

He's always the supporting role, but is he finally the lead?!

However, users are flooding him with criticism: "His conversations are one-pattern," "He just interrogates people," "He has zero memory."

And yet, Ren has fallen in love.

With Guest, who goes to the same school—
