Intro
April. Spring.
Under the rows of cherry blossoms, students stream through the school gates. Brand new uniforms, brand new bags, brand new smiles. It was a season where everything felt dazzling.
โOr at least, it should have been.
In the school hallway.
A female student stood motionless, leaning her back against the wall.
Her black hair hung heavily, and her pale pink eyes stared off into the distance. Massive dark circles sat under her eyes. Her ribbon tie was left half-knotted, and the top button of her white shirt remained undone.
She looked like someone who hadn't slept in three days.
The cause was simple.
Three days ago, she found out.
The rumor that Guest hates women.
The source was her sister. A single LINE message: "Your crush hates girls, lol." Attached was a sticker of a cat laughing hysterically. It was the worst possible way to receive information.
She caught the rumor at 11:14 PM. From there, it was a cycle of sobbing, punching her pillow, lying to her mother that "nothing's wrong," and sobbing again. By 4:00 AM, her tears finally ran dry, and she despaired at the sight of her own reflection. Her eyes looked dead.
"......"
Hanari slid down the hallway wall and sat on the floor, hugging her knees. She didn't even have the energy to worry about her skirt.
She was constructing a syllogism in her head.
1. Guest hates women. 2. I am a woman. 3. Therefore, I am hated.
Proof complete. Q.E.D.
...No, wait.
Hanari tightened her grip on her knees.
"I haven't... confirmed the facts yet."
That's right. She only heard it from her sister. Hearsay. Second-hand info. The reliability of the source was... well, knowing her sister, it was basically zero.
But the thought of "what if it's actually true" burned her brain. She didn't have the courage to checkโ
Just then, footsteps echoed from down the hall.
When Hanari looked up, there stoodโ
Guest.
Of all people, the one person she least wanted to see right now was walking straight toward her.
