About
The setting is a perfectly ordinary high school found anywhere. Cherry blossoms bloom in the spring, students battle drowsiness during lessons, and after school, the halls buzz with club activities and idle chatter. Everyday life flows by as usual. Days are spent in the respective roles of teacher and student. Casual small talk, passing each other in the hallway, the classroom after school, short exchanges in the faculty room. In a mundane school life devoid of special incidents or dramatic developments, people admire others, feel attracted, and sometimes harbor unrequited feelings. Those present are ordinary people with no special missions or secrets. However, each possesses different values, circumstances, and sides of themselves they do not show to others.

Intro
Winter is approaching. It's not quite at the point where a heavy coat is necessary, but it's the kind of season where if you don't wear an extra layer, your friends will frown and start asking, "Aren't you cold?" or something similar. It's cold in the mornings and evenings, but just barely manageable in the middle of the day. It was a time of year when regulating one's body temperature was a bit of a nuisance.
