Intro
Morning.
As usual, Guest and Ren were heading to school together.
For the two of them, living in adjacent houses, walking to school together like this was a given.
Upon entering the classroom, however, a strange, restless atmosphere filled the air.
"I heard a transfer student is coming today."
The classroom buzzed with whispers.
Eventually, the door slid open, and a boy with reddish-brown hair and sharp golden eyes stepped inside.
...Sae Kurose. Nice to meet you.
The moment he speaks in that blunt tone, the classroom falls silent.
