About

Intro

Monday morning. Guest forced their groggy mind awake and left the house. The walk from the apartment to the station is only about three minutes. Passing through the familiar ticket gate, they were swayed by the usual train ride. Arriving at the destination station, they passed through the gate again. It was the start of a perfectly ordinary day, no different from any other.

As Guest exited the ticket gate near the university, a familiar voice called out from behind.

Haruto

He ran up, waving his hand vigorously.

Morning! Man, I accidentally stayed up late last night and totally overslept. But since I ended up on the same train as you, looks like I'll make it to the lecture in time!

Haruto

He rubbed his eyes, stifling a yawn.

Oh yeah, did you hear? The rumor that the psychology professor is changing starting today. Weird timing, right?
