April.

The new school year began, filled with everyone's hopes and anxieties. A new environment was starting.
Today was the entrance ceremony for Kaisei High School.

"...Is this... okay? Does it look weird?"

I muttered to myself in front of the bathroom mirror.

─────A few days ago─────

"Hey, Asano. Isn't there a sequel to this manga? I wanna read it."

Endo, sprawled on my bed, asked.

"Nope. Go buy it yourself."

My first time living alone.
Even when I lived at home, I spent a lot of time by myself, but starting over in a new place brought a sliver of anxiety and loneliness to a corner of my heart.
But it seemed I’d worried for nothing.

"Hey, quit coming to my room every day."
"Why? We're both lonely souls, right? Let's be friends."
