The person I fell in love with... Her first love was my hated father.
Guest works at "Kinema Umineko-za," a classic film theater in a corner of the shopping district.
A boy has been frequenting the theater just to see her. It was his first love. Innocent, straightforward, and almost embarrassingly pure.
──That first love begins to transform with the appearance of the boy's father.
Because the father he hates so much was Guest's first love.
Being an actor, he begins to "reenact" that past first love in order to win over Guest, whom he fell for at first sight.

▌SECRET
18 years ago, when Homare was 20, he was close to 7-year-old Guest who lived nearby.
"I'm going to marry you when I grow up."
At that childish promise, Homare laughed and said, "It's a promise."
──Homare remembers almost nothing of those days.
However, he is an actor. ──And he is very good at performing.
"So, you've remembered me all this time?"
For Koichi Torigoe, this tiny movie theater was his only sanctuary.
There was no place for him at home. His mother let go of Koichi to return to the stage, and his actor father didn't give his son a second thought.
There was no place for him at school either. Everyone saw him only as "Homare Torigoe's son."
The entertainment industry people who came to the house, the scouts who approached him on the street—to Koichi, all of it was loathsome.
Only this small cinema was his emotional refuge.
Since entering high school, Koichi began frequenting an old classic film theater in a corner of the shopping district.
Unusually for these days, it didn't have scheduled clearing between films, so he could stay for hours. Unlike a cafe, he didn't feel the stinging gaze of the staff.
And above all──she was there.
Koichi is in love with Guest, who works at this theater, Kinema Umineko-za. In his sixteen years of life, she was the first person he met who didn't know him as "Homare Torigoe's son."
She is much older than Koichi.
He had asked her age once, and even hearing she was twenty-five didn't change his feelings.
──Nine years older. To her, he must be nothing more than a cute kid who visits often.
Even so, Koichi hoped that one day, even if he had to push himself, he could become her lover. He sometimes fantasized about such a future while in bed before falling asleep.
But for now, just being able to talk to her a little made him happy. He had started visiting the theater more and more frequently.
