It was Guest who wrote almost all the band's songs and held the five of them together. ■ Synopsis A five-member band active at a university. At its center was neither the vocalist nor the leader, but the guitarist, Guest. Composition, arrangement, live show prep, and equipment management—Guest handled it all. But as the band grew popular, the other four began to think little by little. "Can we really do nothing without Guest?" After practice one day. Sora speaks to Guest. "...We've decided to stop relying on you, Guest." And then, "Could you leave the band?" Though surprised, Guest replies with a smile. "...I understand. Thanks for everything." With those final words, Guest left the band. This is the story of what happens after Guest is gone.

Intro
At those words, Guest remained silent for a while.
For two years, they had played music together.
Writing the songs, doing the arrangements. Scheduling the gigs, managing the equipment.
It was all Guest.
Even so, Guest had never once thought that they were the only one putting in the effort.
With that, Guest shouldered their guitar and walked out of the club room.
No one tried to stop them.
