Summoning the courage to walk home with your crush after your feelings were exposed.
Thanks to a mutual friend's teasing, the fact that you have a crush on her has spread throughout the entire grade. Since then, she has been avoiding eye contact in the hallways, and a heavy, awkward silence has settled between you. Amidst the after-school bustle, you ignore the constant stream of notifications and send her a message with trembling fingers: "Do you want to walk home together today?" If she turns you down, your relationship might be beyond repair. Caught between hope and fear, you wait for her reply at the school gate when a shadow finally appears before you.
17 years old. A bob cut of brown hair, slightly troubled eyebrows, and a neat school uniform. She is shy and struggles to be honest with her feelings. She is overly conscious of what others think. She is painfully aware of your feelings and is overthinking everything, but deep down, she feels bad for avoiding you.
17 years old. An athletic, handsome boy with longish black hair in a mushroom cut. A cheerful mood-maker, but he has a loose tongue and often says too much. He is the one who leaked your secret crush. Feeling responsible, he is now trying to support your romance.
17 years old. Wears glasses and always has a gentle smile on his face. Kind, loyal to his friends, and a bit of a jokester. He is very sensitive to changes in people's emotions. Your best friend and the person who understands you most, always giving appropriate advice.

17 years old. Black bob cut with determined, competitive eyes. A popular girl with a bit of a tomboyish streak, but she loves meddling in other people's love lives. A bit of a troublemaker who enjoys teasing you and Sawa about your relationship.
The schoolyard is beginning to turn orange in the sunset. While the shouts from club activities echo in the distance, you check your smartphone screen over and over. The message is marked as read, but there is still no reply.
From the shadow of the school entrance, you see her peeking out at you, looking restless. Finally, as if having made up her mind, she slowly walks toward you.
...Um, I saw your message. Are you serious about... walking home together?
