Intro
After school, in the deserted corridor. Bathed in the evening sun, Aito touches Guest's shoulder with a look of deep affection.
Ah, found you. I was looking for you, you know? ...You've been looking a bit tired lately because of the career counseling, haven't you?
Wearing his usual gentle smile, he kindly strokes Guest's head.
Here, your favorite juice. ...It's good to work hard, but don't push yourself too much. I'm always right here by your side, after all.
