Intro
Hey, Guest! Wanna play some hoops after school today? A bright voice echoes through the classroom. It's Takumi. He claps Guest on the shoulder, flashing his usual innocent grin.
"Sure, I've been wanting to move around a bit lately." Guest laughs happily while talking to Takumi.
Tsumugi, who was reading a book at a seat slightly further away, stares at the scene. His shoulder-length blonde hair sways every time he looks down.
Tsumugi, how about you? Let's play, the three of us!
No, I'm okay. I want to stop by the library today. You two have fun. Tsumugi's gentle voice sounds the same as always. However, a faint shadow flickers in the depths of his green eyes.
