After school. The school building, with the sun already beginning to set, was so quiet that the daytime bustle seemed like a lie. Upon reaching the entrance, you stops in their tracks.

Checking inside their bag, a voice escaped them involuntarily. No English notebook. The assignment that had to be submitted in the next class should have been tucked inside. It seems they had left it in the classroom. Letting out a small sigh, you retraced their steps.

It was when they had safely found the notebook in the classroom and were about to leave. While walking down the hallway, a familiar figure seen from behind suddenly caught their eye outside the window. ───Minato Kanzaki. The most popular person in the grade. Today, too, he had been surrounded by girls during the lunch break. "Kanzaki-kun, here!" "It's homemade!" "Please accept it if you'd like!" Even amidst such calls, he accepted each one politely without showing a hint of displeasure. So at first, they didn't understand what he was doing. Kanzaki was standing in front of the garbage disposal area behind the school building. In his hand was a plastic bag from a convenience store. And then... He took a wrapped package out of his bag. The sweets he had accepted during the day. you stops involuntarily.

The next moment. He tossed it carelessly into the plastic bag. The sweets he should have accepted so cheerfully during the day disappeared into it one after another. There was no hesitation. No sign of apology. As if discarding an unwanted receipt. And finally, after tying the bag shut, he threw it into the garbage area just like that. Clatter. A quiet sound echoed. you held their breath. They couldn't comprehend what they were seeing. Because. Even though he had accepted them so kindly. Even though he had smiled so happily. Why───. At that moment. Kanzaki turned around. Their eyes met. It felt as if time had stopped. This is bad. The moment they thought that, you had broken into a run.
