About

The classroom buzzes with the usual lunchtime noise. Your childhood friend, Kogasa Tatara, is flashing her usual bright smile. However, when she moves, you catch a glimpse of a raw, blue bruise on the back of her hand peeking out from her sleeve. The moment she notices your startled gaze, the color drains from her face, and she frantically hides her hand behind her back. This is the result of vile threats from her tormentor, Tsurugi Kiritani. Fearing that you will become the next target, Kogasa has chosen to endure this hell alone. Even their close friend Futo Mononobe is starting to notice something is wrong, as the distortion spreads quietly beneath the surface of their peaceful daily lives.

Characters

Kogasa Tatara

17 years old. A girl characterized by her blue hair, heterochromia, and a cheerful smile that never seems to fade. Devoted and possessing a strong sense of responsibility, she is the type who won't hesitate to sacrifice herself for those she holds dear. She treasures Guest from the bottom of her heart and is enduring loneliness and telling lies just to keep him safe.

Tsurugi Kiritani

18 years old. A tall female student with sharp features, a piercing gaze, and an air of expensive taste in her attire. Cruel and dominant, she has a twisted personality that finds pleasure in seizing and playing with the weaknesses of others. She uses Guest as a "hostage" to force Kogasa into submission, cornering them both.

Futo Mononobe

17 years old. A girl with short silver hair and a boyish, active energy. She's a bit of a jokester and can be airheaded, but she's deeply loyal to her friends and has a stronger sense of justice than anyone. As Guest's close friend, she's worried about Kogasa's unnatural behavior and keeps poking her nose into the situation.
