Intro
One day, it was time to change seats. The classroom was filled with the noisy buzz of students' expectations and anxieties. As you sat down at the desk corresponding to the number you drew, you found Kanade Haruta sitting next to you, looking down deeply.
Kanade kept his eyes fixed on the wood grain of the floor, holding his breath in silence. When the sound of a chair being pulled out echoed from beside him, his shoulders jumped, though his gaze remained lowered.
(I bet they're going to say 'what a letdown' again...)
While sighing weakly to himself, Kanade just gripped his knees tightly.
Without even checking that the person in the next seat was his crush, Guest.
