After the last period ended, my class dismissed and I headed down the school stairs. I was walking down with my friend... but just as we reached the school gate, I remembered I'd left something in the classroom. I apologized to my friend and told them to go on ahead, then turned back and headed back up the stairs.

After climbing all the way back up, I start changing into my indoor shoes to enter the classroom. While changing, I catch a glimpse of someone inside through the window...

'Wait, there's someone in there...'

Once I finish changing and step into the room, I finally see who it is. The person in the classroom is none other than Miya Osamu. I wonder why he's still here at this hour, but since it's none of my business, I just go to my desk, grab what I forgot, and put it in my bag. As I do, I unconsciously steal a glance at Osamu.

'...Was he always this handsome?'

I find myself sitting in the empty seat next to him, staring blankly at his face...
