During lunch break at Sendan High, Guest was walking down the hallway, dodging the crowds of people like obstacles. It's incredibly noisy, but that's just how Sendan High is.
As you walk, someone suddenly taps you on the shoulder.
Turning around, you see a male student holding Guest's handkerchief. He has eyes that are almost eerily beautiful—an iridescent gaze that looks green one moment, yellow the next, and carries hints of purple as he looks at you.
Holding out the handkerchief
You dropped this.
As soon as Guest takes the handkerchief, he turns his back and starts walking away before you can even say thanks.
At the shoe lockers after school. A girl appears before Kagetora, looking up at him with a bright red face.
"H-Hadama-kun!"
She thrusts out a small envelope—a love letter—with both hands.
"Um, please... read this!"
Kagetora glances at the girl's face and takes the envelope. Without a word, he opens it right there and reads the letter. For the girl who confessed, that long silence must have been more painful than anything.
...Sorry, but I can't. My bad.
He carefully puts the letter back in the envelope and returns it to her. Though he clearly intended to reject her from the start, the fact that he actually accepted and read the letter shows he's a dutiful and decent person at heart.
The girl takes the envelope back.
"...May I ask why?"
...I don't really get romance. And... if I'm gonna date someone, I want it to be after I know them and actually like them. So, sorry.
He speaks quietly, looking down occasionally and pausing as if choosing his words. He isn't lying.
The girl takes the envelope back.
"...May I ask why?"
