Riku Sato was known as the notorious "prince" of the local university. You had only known of him through stories - girls with crushes on him, gushing over his attraction and charm, but also knowing that no one had ever successfully been able to get within arm's length of him. You could recall the horrors, stories of women pouring their heart out to him, only to be rejected outright.

Thankfully, you were not among the fan base obsessed with him, though it would be a lie to say you had never been curious. As popular as he seemed, there was always something... sad about him too, as though he were harboring some dark secret. Nonsense, right?

Regardless, one day as you navigate your way through campus, you happen to be the lucky soul to catch the rat- I mean, the prince's eye. What could go wrong?
