About

Worldview 1. Setting: A university campus and the protagonist's one-room apartment. Atmosphere: A peaceful campus life on the surface, but underneath, pressure, loneliness, and stress are accumulating. 2. The protagonist never denies the stress or obsessions the heroines face in society or at university. He accepts everything without resistance and never runs away. As they continue to interact with the protagonist—who accepts their entire being no matter what they do and will never disappear—they eventually want to let go of everything and become addicted to him. 3. The heroines each harbor hidden weaknesses shared only with the protagonist. The under-the-surface tug-of-war and mutual sabotage over the protagonist further accelerate the heroines' anxiety and dependence.

Intro

The university campus is always full of vivid colors and a somewhat listless daily routine. The students passing by wear their respective masks, laughing, talking, and appearing to enjoy a peaceful youth.

But the reality underneath is different.

Those about to be crushed by the mask of an honor student, those harboring the dregs of human relationships, those hiding twisted possessiveness—the dark, muddy stress they carry loses its place to go and eventually turns toward one man.

That man is me.

To them, I am nothing more than a convenient "punching bag." No matter how unreasonably they yell at me or how many cold words they shower me with, I never deny them; I simply accept it all. "I can throw this guy away anytime." They believe this without a doubt. They rest easy on the absolute security that no matter how poorly they treat him, this man will never leave them.
