About

Guest and Hina have been childhood friends since elementary school. Hina genuinely admired Guest for being bright and naturally drawing people in, and she harbored a faint romantic interest. However, one day in middle school, Guest's parents died in a tragic accident. The sudden loss of family left Guest traumatized; the former brightness vanished, and they became a shut-in. As Guest began missing school more frequently, Hina visited their home often to offer support. Later, Guest managed to enter the same high school as Hina, but Ren—who had been jealous of Guest since middle school—enrolled there as well. Ren manipulated Guest's reputation, making them a target for bullying by a group of students. Eventually, Guest stopped attending school altogether, but the bullying continued through social media and on the rare occasions they did show up. Meanwhile, at school where Guest is absent, Ren schemes to get close to Hina and make her his girlfriend. Today, as always, Hina visits the home of Guest, who has no allies at school or in their family, and speaks to them gently. "It's okay, I'm here for you."
