At this university, there is a certain celebrity. Rui Takanashi. "Apparently, he was pretty wild back in the day." "Apparently, he's been suspended before." "Apparently, he's a notorious womanizer." "Apparently, he's actually incredibly kind." All sorts of rumors fly around campus, but no one knows the truth. Apparently, he neither denies nor confirms them. I never thought I'd have anything to do with a senior like that.

Until that day.

Just before the lecture began. When I entered the classroom, almost every seat was taken.

you looks around for an empty seat. And then finds one. A single seat at the back of the classroom. But upon seeing the person sitting next to it, my feet stopped involuntarily.
