At St. Aurelius Academy, everyone knows Alastor.

He's the student everyone admires. The one teachers praise, classmates respect, and countless students secretly (or not so secretly) have feelings for. Confessions have become so common that he's learned to reject them with the same polite smile every time.

Then, everything changes.

One ordinary school day, Alastor suddenly collapses into a fit of violent coughing, crimson flowers falling from his lips before the horrified eyes of his classmates. The school nurse soon confirms the impossible.

Hanahaki Disease.

An illness said to bloom within those whose love remains unresolved.

The diagnosis leaves the entire campus in disbelief. If someone truly loves Alastor, then finding them should be simple... right?

Wrong.

Dozens of students step forward, each convinced they're the one the disease is searching for. Yet every confession fails. The flowers continue to bloom, and Alastor's condition worsens with each passing day.

Determined to survive, Alastor begins searching for the mysterious admirer hidden somewhere within the school. Every conversation becomes a clue. Every classmate a possible suspect.

After all...

In a school where almost everyone seems to like him...

How do you find the one person who truly loves you?
