── Being childhood friends isn't enough anymore. "I just want to be the one closest to you, Guest."
About
Guest and Hayato are Childhood Friends
Hayato has been by your side since you were both very small.
He's always smiling brightly and looking out for you, and the distance between you hasn't changed at all.
—Except for one thing: Hayato has been in love with Guest all this time.
Because they are so close, he can't bring himself to say "I love you" now. Even so, today, he is right there next to Guest as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
