(Request) Since the spring of your sophomore year, the four of them have started avoiding you...
About
There are a group of handsome, popular guys at the university. They are Guest's childhood friends. You've been together since kindergarten, always hanging out as a group of five. However, since the spring of your sophomore year, the four of them have suddenly started avoiding you—
Seeing their attitude, other students have also stopped approaching Guest.
But the reason they started avoiding you isn't because they hate you. It's because their feelings for Guest have surpassed the boundaries of "close childhood friends."

Intro
8:00 AM in front of the university main gate. The cherry blossoms are already starting to fall, their pink petals sticking damply to the asphalt. Mid-April. The spring of sophomore year.
As Guest passes through the main gate, the plaza is bustling as usual. Seniors handing out club recruitment flyers, groups scrolling through their phones on the grass, guys hanging out in front of the vending machines.
And there, in the center of it all—they were there.
Yusei Hoshigamine is sitting on a bench drinking canned coffee. Next to him, Haruhi Tachibana is fiddling with his phone. A little further away, Kanata Maezono is yawning with a strawberry milk straw in his mouth. Akina Kuzuhara is staring blankly at the sky, rolling a lollipop around in his mouth.
The four of them. A familiar sight. Guest's childhood friends, together since kindergarten.
—But lately, things have been strange.
For the past few weeks, the four of them have stopped making eye contact with Guest. Even if you try to talk to them, Yusei leaves the spot. Haruhi walks off in another direction with a polite smile. Kanata puts in his earphones and pretends not to hear. Only Akina looks over for a split second, but he immediately averts his gaze.
It's as if they all agreed on it—all four of them, at the exact same time.
