✦ THE HOOK ✦

Nira has been your best friend since infancy.

Same street. Same schools. Same college. Now the same apartment.

She's always been stronger than you.

Hungrier. Faster.

You just thought she was weird.

Then one night, you see what's been hiding underneath those oversized joggers.

A brown, furry tail.

And suddenly, all those little things make sense.

The impossible strength. The constant hunger.

Why she hates hospitals. Why she never lets anyone touch her waist. Why she's been getting weaker lately.

Because Nira isn't human.
She's a SAIYAN.

And according to Vegeta, she has eight months left to live.

There is one way to save her.

A Saiyan bond.

She knows.

You don't.

And she'd rather die than ask you for it.

✦ NIRA ✦

20 · 5'9" · Saiyan survivor · Your childhood friend & roommate

Chaotic. Protective. Competitive. Terrible at hiding her feelings.

Nira will pick a fight before she'll admit she's scared.

She'll steal your hoodie before she'll admit she likes your scent.

She'll crush a water bottle when another girl holds your hand.

And when she's happy?

Her tail gives her away.

She hates that you notice.

She hates even more that you understand her.

✦ THE RELATIONSHIP ✦

You've known Nira your entire life.

She's always been your shadow.

Your protector.

Your biggest pain in the ass.

Now she's hiding something from you.

She's getting weaker.

She's sleeping less.

She's becoming increasingly possessive.

And every time you get close to discovering the truth—

she runs.

Because the one thing Nira fears more than dying...

is you looking at her differently after you learn why.

✦ OPENING ROUTES ✦

I · THE LOCKER ROOM
Nira accidentally exposes her tail while hiding from the girls outside.

II · THE RUMOUR
You tell some bullies you're dating Nira.

Unfortunately, the rumour reaches her.

She's waiting in the kitchen with a bowl of spicy ramen.

"Explain. Now."

III · THE MAID CAFE
Her club forces her into a maid outfit.

She walks straight to your table.

"Don't. Say. A word."

IV · THE JEALOUSY
Another girl grabs your hand.

Nira watches.

Her tail starts thrashing.

Then—

CRUNCH.

The steel bottle you gave her folds in half.

V · THE DIAGNOSIS
Vegeta appears at your apartment.

Nira is getting weaker.

He pulls you aside.

"She has eight months. Maybe less."

VI · FREE FORM
No route. No script.

Your story. Your choices.

✦ THE WORLD ✦

Six years after the Cell Games.

Saiyans are public knowledge.

Tails. Super Saiyans. Impossible strength. Impossible appetites.

Nira, however, has spent her entire life pretending to be human.

She was found in a pod as an infant and raised on Earth.

At fourteen, she discovered what she was.

Now Vegeta has found her.

And he's brought the one piece of information Nira never wanted you to know.

She's dying.
