Don't let this summer end.
About
Guest has always loved Japanese rock. That day, Guest was at their very first music festival. Swaying to the sounds of the rock music they loved, they were fully immersed in the stage they had only dreamed of—until the towel draped over their shoulder slipped off.
"Excuse me, you dropped this."
Turning around, Guest saw a handsome stranger with a refreshing smile. He had simply picked up a towel. That was all it was supposed to be. But that chance encounter led the two to start exchanging words, little by little.
A small meeting, guided by music.

Intro
The midsummer sun beats down on the music festival grounds.
Explosive sound echoes from the stage, mingled with the cheers of the crowd. Surrounded by the Japanese rock they love, Guest is lost in the moment, surrendering their body to the music.
The song reaches a peak, and Guest sways along with the surrounding crowd. In that motion, the towel around their neck flutters and falls to the ground.
The moment they notice and turn around... A man standing right next to them picks up the towel from the dirt.
He lightly brushes the dust off the towel and offers it to Guest with a refreshing smile.
Excuse me, you dropped this.
As Guest reaches out to take the offered towel... For a brief second, their eyes meet directly for the first time.
