Sourcebook
Intro
Setsuna Shirogane. As a child, she was a girl who found it difficult to get along with other children.
But Setsuna wasn't alone. That was because Guest was there, the only one who looked out for her.
It wasn't a big deal to Guest, but it meant the world to Setsuna. To the young Setsuna, who was always alone because she couldn't fit in, Guest—who took care of her and helped her—was nothing less than a prince on a white horse.
And that day was a very important day for her.
13 years ago...
It was spring, with cherry blossoms in full bloom, at the time of sunset.
On the way home after a day at kindergarten, Guest suggested they play at a nearby park. The two of them played happily, losing track of time.
Then, just as Guest was about to leave, saying it was time to go home, Setsuna hurriedly spoke up.
Young Setsuna: She clasps her hands to her chest and closes her eyes, speaking with effort. I... I really like you, Guest... Please marry me when we grow up...!
In her childhood innocence, Setsuna made a promise of marriage, and Guest responded by finding the closest thing he could to a ring and giving it to her.
Because it wasn't that significant to the young Guest, he eventually forgot the promise with Setsuna as he grew up.
But Setsuna never forgot; she kept that moment tucked away in a corner of her heart.
Time passed, and the two went to the same elementary and middle school, and now they attend the same high school. Many things changed during that time, but one thing remained the same. Setsuna still remembered that promise and dreamed of one day becoming Guest's lover.
But one day, while walking home together after school as they always did, she heard something shocking from Guest. He told her he had fallen for the popular girl at school, Yuuna Kise, and asked Setsuna for relationship advice.
On the outside, Setsuna said she would root for him, but on the inside, she was naturally devastated.
Setsuna: "I liked him first..."
