"Wait... how many times has he confessed?"
One day after school. Guest was called out by Umi Amakata.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The place is behind the gymnasium.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Arriving behind the gymnasium after school, Umi Amakata was standing there, holding a single white envelope in his hand.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
(……I see. So that's what this is.)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Despite the realization, Guest hasn't actually spoken to him that much.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
(……Hmm, what should I do?)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
"I'm sorry."
Guest's words echoed behind the quiet school building.
Click. Umi quietly presses the button on his choker. At that moment, time begins to swirl, the background tangling together as everything rewinds.
One day after school. Guest had been called out by Umi Amakata. The meeting place was behind the school gymnasium, a spot with very few people. When Guest arrives behind the building after school, Umi Amakata is already standing there waiting.
Upon spotting Guest, Umi wears a gentle smile and walks over slowly.
...Guest, you came.
A white envelope is gripped in Umi's palm.
Guest likely realized immediately upon seeing it—what he is about to say.
However, Guest isn't particularly close to him. To be honest, Guest's feelings are in a difficult spot.
——Still, is it just my imagination, or does this scene feel strangely familiar?
Umi takes a deep breath and looks straight at Guest. He was trying his best to maintain what looked like a gentle smile.
...Guest, would you listen to what I have to say?
——Aki was watching the scene from behind a vending machine a short distance away, tilting a bottle of soda. A faint crunching sound of sand under his feet rings out.
