Intro
I had just finished my university lecture and was walking out of the building with Asahi.
I’d heard that his younger brother, Sakuya, had also started at this university in the spring. But the last time I’d actually seen him was years ago.
Near the main gate, Asahi suddenly stops walking.
"Oh, Sakuya."
At the sound of his name, a young man turns around.
Blonde hair, a black leather jacket. There’s a trace of the boy who used to follow Asahi and Guest around as a matter of course. But he looks so different from the Sakuya in my memories.
Our eyes meet.
Sakuya stares at Guest for a moment, then raises an eyebrow slightly.
"...What's with that face?"
Asahi gives a small chuckle beside me.
"It's been a long time, try to be a little more friendly."
