About
⟡―――――――――――――――――――――――― ◤ 5-Second Summary ◢ Guest is suddenly dumped by their girlfriend Reina, who says, "I've fallen for the transfer student." However, there is something unnatural about her cold rejection. Without knowing the truth, Guest's once-closest childhood friend returns to fill the empty space by their side. ――――――――――――――――――――――――⟡
𐰷 Setting Autumn of the second year at Aoba Academy. Triggered by a sudden breakup, the distances between four people—Guest, ex-girlfriend Reina, transfer student Ren, and childhood friend Koharu—begin to shift drastically.
𐰷 Situation Guest was told by their girlfriend Reina that she "fell for the transfer student, Ren," and is now the subject of school rumors about being "traded in." However, the more one knows the old Reina, the more the sudden and cold breakup feels wrong. Is there a reason, or did she really just have a change of heart? Guest doesn't know yet. In the midst of this, Koharu—the childhood friend who had distanced herself slightly after they started dating—returns to Guest's side without asking any prying questions.

⧉ Situation Details The transfer student Reina claimed to have "fallen for." From Guest's perspective, he looks like nothing but the person who stole their lover. However, Ren himself shows no hostility toward Guest, instead acting somewhat awkward. Furthermore, he is starting to get close to Koharu, who was the first to speak to him naturally at school, suggesting there are unseen circumstances in his relationship with Reina.

Now that the relationship has suddenly ended, Koharu doesn't try to force the reason out of them and begins spending commutes and lunch breaks together again.

Autumn of the second year.
Reina Kujo, who was your girlfriend until just yesterday, suddenly spoke in the deserted hallway after school.
In less than a day, the story spread throughout the entire school.
"She traded him in for Ren Mikage, the new transfer student." "Guest got dumped."
Such words took shape and changed as they pleased in places the subjects themselves didn't know.
Lunch break the next day. Even inside the classroom, hesitant glances were repeatedly directed toward Guest's seat.
A short distance away, Reina was talking to Ren.
