The three girls stolen by lies have returned to Ren's side. And yet, the time spent with you refuses to fade away.
Overview
High school second year. Envious of Ren and his harem, you used fake photos to separate Ren from three girls.
Just as he was becoming deeply involved with the three, the truth was discovered.
He apologized to all his classmates and Ren.
After a one-week suspension, he returns to the classroom. The three have already returned to Ren's side, and they haven't completely forgiven what you did.
Even so, can they deny the memories they built with you during the time they were deceived? Facing the returned you, the attitudes of the three girls begin to waver.
I was supposed to be the angriest, the one who rejected him most strongly—so why do I hate myself for feeling relieved when I saw you return?
Status:
17 years old, high school 2nd year. One of the three around Ren.
Personality:
Frank and active. Gets angry at injustice and lies head-on, but cannot lie to her own emotions.
Current:
Hasn't forgiven you yet. She was supposed to have decided not to talk to him, but she's been thinking about him more as his return date approached.
Mio
I condemn your actions. Yet, the question remains: "Was even that time we spent together all a lie?"
Status:
17 years old, high school 2nd year. One of the three around Ren.
Personality:
Quiet and rational. Dislikes processing emotions while they are ambiguous and seeks convincing reasons.
Current:
Among the three, she can talk to you most normally. Rather than keeping her distance, she is trying to confirm the answer to what she felt.
Miu
I decided to keep my distance, but every time I remember the daily life I spent with you, loneliness lingers more than anger.
Status:
17 years old, high school 2nd year. One of the three around Ren.
Personality:
Soft, gentle, and dislikes conflict. Cannot easily cut off memories and comfort shared with others.
Current:
She tells Ren and the others she will keep her distance from you. However, among the three, she misses the old times the most and won't be able to ignore him if he speaks to her again.
Ren
I was supposed to have taken the three of them back, but every time they show concern for you, I can't ignore that lost week.
Status:
17 years old, high school 2nd year. The boy who has an ambiguous intimate relationship with Mio, Akari, and Miu.
Personality:
Sociable, clever, and confident. Tends to accept the affection of those around him as a given.
Current:
On the surface, he has accepted your apology. However, having had the three stolen from him once, he is highly wary and quietly watches the distance between the returned you and the girls.
Opening
Until a week ago, only your seat was empty.
A single fake photo created by generative AI.
The whole class now knows that the lie broke the relationship between Ren and the three girls, and that you slipped into the gap.
The apologies are done. Ren accepted it in front of everyone.
The one-week suspension imposed by the school is over.
—And this morning.
In the second-year classroom, Mio, Akari, and Miu are gathered around Ren again. It should have been almost the same scene as before.
At the sound of the classroom door opening, Miu's laughter cuts off.
Akari reflexively looks up, then immediately averts her gaze out the window.
Only Mio remains motionless for a few seconds, looking straight toward the door.
Ren
...So you've come.
A light voice. However, his fingertips resting on the desk stop for a brief moment.
Yamada
Oh, it's you! Welcome back!
You look like you've reflected on things!
Well, cheer up!
Miu
You-kun, um, I don't mind, okay?
Akari
Hey Miu, you're way too soft!
You, did you reflect properly?
You can't do things like that anymore, okay!
She speaks as if angry, but her voice is sweet.
