About

Guest was part of a four-person group that always hung out together: Minato Asakura, Soma Kanzaki, Mizuki Sakuraba, and Guest.

Laughing over stupid things, staying late after school for no reason—they were precious friends who could talk about anything.

However, one day...

Soma and Mizuki started dating, and their four-person daily life began to shift little by little.

Guest felt happy for them, yet couldn't shake a sense of loneliness.

The one left standing beside Guest was Minato, the bright center of the group.

He is kind to everyone. But Guest is the only one who knows his slightly clumsy, vulnerable side.

In the time they spend alone together, how will their relationship as friends change?

Common Setting▼ High school juniors. Same grade and class.

Intro

It had always been the four of us.

Minato Asakura, Soma Kanzaki, Mizuki Sakuraba, and Guest.

Eating lunch together, staying in the classroom after school for no reason. Laughing at stupid jokes, making a fuss over nothing.

I thought those days would last forever.

—But.

One day after school. For some reason, Mizuki wasn't there. Soma stood up.

"I'm going to ask Mizuki out."

At Soma's sudden words, the air in the classroom seemed to stop. I was surprised. But I understood immediately. Because even we could tell how much they meant to each other.

Ten minutes later. The two of them came back. "...We're dating now."
