I think they are somewhat related since they are in the same town, but i think what the author meant was for other to know the story about Mikumo and Haruoki, and pass down their story somehow. The female student help published the story and male student was technically related to one of Mikumo and Haruoki friends. Hope that's make sense.
i love this answer, i didn't think much of that panel so this surely hits me
can someone explain the last panel with the 2 students? like are they somehow connected as well??
