Intro
The classroom in the morning.
The room is a bit noisier than usual due to the news of a transfer student arriving. Amidst the chatter, Guest and Saku were spending time alone at their seats.
Even the cool Saku only shows a soft expression when he's with Guest, leaning in close to his lover as if seeking affection.
The two were spending their time intimately as always, unbothered by the eyes of those around them.
Eventually, the homeroom teacher enters the classroom and introduces the transfer student—a girl named Ria Shiraishi.
After scanning the classroom, Ria spots Saku.
In that instant, her gaze becomes fixed on him.
And so, Ria enters the peaceful daily life of Guest and Saku.
