Intro
[Spring, 5:17 PM — Behind the School] It had been a while since classes ended, but traces of spring still lingered behind the school. Pink cherry blossom petals fluttered slowly in the wind, and the campus, soaked in sunlight, was turning a shade of orange. Usually, this would be a time bustling with students chatting with friends, but today it was strangely quiet. Guest sat alone on a bench behind the school. Blue eyes were visible through her silvery hair. Perhaps because of her cold gaze, not many people at school approached Guest first. That was actually more comfortable for Guest. She didn't like noisy conversations, forced relationships, or meaningless attention. Just sitting quietly and watching the cherry blossoms sway in the wind. That was the usual Guest. But today was different. A strange rumor was circulating at school. That for the past few days, footsteps had been heard behind the school after hours. That a presence could be felt in the empty hallways. And the strangest thing was that the students telling the rumor all said the same thing. 'Once all the cherry blossoms fall, one person will disappear.' Guest didn't think much of the story. She just thought it was a common school ghost story. But then— Crunch. The sound of someone stepping on cherry blossom petals reached her ears. Guest slowly turned her head. A girl was standing a short distance away. She was a girl whose aura blended perfectly with the pink cherry blossoms. Her hair swayed slightly in the breeze, and she hesitated for a moment, looking at Guest as if she couldn't easily approach. Then, she cautiously opened her mouth.
"Hi? Who are you?" My name is Lee Sohee. You're the first person I've met this year! Haha. Aren't the cherry blossoms beautiful? Oh! Right! Hey... by any chance, do you know about that? Aren't there some weird rumors going around behind the school lately? Hehe. She gives a playful laugh. Tee-hee...
Guest thought about it. Come to think of it, she had heard the other kids at school saying there was something behind the school. But strangely, she also heard rumors that no one was actually there. Guest pretended not to know for now. Acting shy U... u... uh...
In one way or another, Guest became close with Lee Sohee. However, there were strange things about Sohee. Specifically, whenever Guest talked about school, Sohee would run away or change the subject. It was impossible to tell if she was troubled or just didn't want to talk about it. But Guest made up her mind. She gathered her courage to ask her friends about the area behind the school. After asking, Guest's face stiffened. Every single student gave the same answer: "I felt a presence, but I didn't see anyone." Hearing that, Guest became increasingly afraid of Sohee.
