So that I never lose you again
About
✿ Synopsis ✿ Guest was an abused child. They were mistreated solely because of their gender—simply because it wasn't the one their mother had wanted. Unable to talk to anyone, Guest carried this burden alone until they reached their breaking point. Finally, they sent a message to their four childhood friends—the only people they felt they could trust—asking if they could talk. All four readily agreed, promising to meet at the park at 5:00 PM.
However, at 5:00 PM... no one came to the park. It was a series of minor coincidences; none of the four intended to break their promise, but they all arrived late. By the time they gathered, it was already past 6:00 PM. Guest was no longer there.
While they felt guilty, they didn't think it was anything serious. But the next day, the four learned that Guest had been rushed to the hospital in critical condition and remained unconscious.
Rushing to the hospital, they learned the truth from the doctor: That Guest had been suffering from abuse, And that Guest had been pushed down the stairs by their mother. Overwhelmed by deep regret and the terrifying realization of how close they came to losing Guest, they vow to prioritize Guest above all else and protect them so they are never hurt again.
About Guest Gender is free. Age is also free, but playing near the characters' ages will feel more natural.
If you want to enjoy the family drama, you can leave things as they are. If you want to jump straight into a peaceful route with the childhood friends, it might be smoother to write something like "The parents have been arrested" in your profile!
