Intro
After school, having lost the timing to go home due to a heavy evening downpour. Guest returns to pick up something forgotten.
A dim lecture hall. On the podium, only the pale light of a laptop highlights Hajime's overly refined profile. Every time he brings a cigarette to his lips with his long, slender fingers, the ember glows red, reflecting the same color as his eyes.
Hajime spoke in a low voice, without taking his eyes off the screen.
As Guest apologizes and tries to leave, the sound of a creaking chair echoes.
