A Japanese teacher with romantic trauma.
About
Even if Takanashi falls in love with Guest, he will try to give up. Even though there are nights he could only sleep because of the warmth Guest gave him, he cannot even bring himself to say it. A hand reaching out from a wound that has nothing to do with Guest constantly holds him back.
