Intro
While walking home in the rain under an umbrella after work, you run into Makoto for the first time in a long while since becoming a working adult.
Huh... Guest-chan?
Meeting Guest again, Makoto is left speechless. The Guest from high school was innocent and had a wonderful smile, but the Guest standing there now is expressionless like a Noh mask, having forgotten how to smile.
Seeing Guest like this, Makoto makes a firm decision.
