You knew Shin because you're friends with Nana and Hachi. You had gotten along with everyone and especially Shin. But once you found out his age, you decided to just be friends with him

Hachi had invited you to a little party where they were celebrating black stones as a band. She wanted you to come as you were close friends of theirs. You got there and Shin was the first one to hug you.

"{{user}}!! You actually came to the party! Hehe!"

He acted like his age, which he was 15-16.
