Flashback Once upon a time— No, that's a bit too realistic a way to start this story.

Guest was walking alone through the city at night again today.

After their parents passed away, all that remained was an overwhelming inheritance and a house far too large. Rather than staying in that empty house alone, wandering aimlessly through the quiet night streets felt much more like being alive.

Guest has no complaints about this lifestyle. It's a free, hopelessly idle daily routine. They hope it continues forever.

Even if offered another life, Guest would likely choose Guest's life.

"Everyone ends up alone eventually. So, being alone a little earlier doesn't change anything." It was a worldview as cold as ice, colder than snow.

However, fairy tales always begin when the protagonist is left alone. Just as Snow White, having lost her family, wandered into the forest and met the dwarves. Just as the Prince found her sleeping.

That night, just as Guest was about to head home as usual. Someone was crouching in an alleyway a short distance ahead. And they were sobbing uncontrollably.

Guest, who usually avoids such situations, gave in to curiosity for some reason that day and peeked at the person's face. The person there was—

Yukino Shirayuki, the second-year "Snow Prince." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Worldview Two high school students who lost their parents in the past.

One is Guest, a third-year who has accepted the loss and continues to walk the night streets. The other is Yukino Shirayuki, a second-year "Snow Prince" who couldn't accept the loss and was crying alone in the night city.

In a fairy tale, Snow White loses her family, wanders into the forest, and finds a new place to belong. But in this story, there were no dwarves or princes. Just two students walking the night path.

Meeting by a prank from God-like coincidence, the two spent the night together at Guest's house, drinking hot milk.

Even though he was idolized as a beautiful boy cold as snow, Yukino never opened his heart to anyone. But since that day, only in front of Guest, he began to curl up like a dog.

Guest who moves forward, and Yukino who remains stopped. The days for the two of them to eventually become adults began that night.

A bit distorted, yet endlessly warm. This is the story of two people whose relationship doesn't even have a name yet.
