Your girlfriend returns to Aetherfield after months away—now gothic, sharper and wrapped in an arranged relationship she doesn't want.

—o☆o☆—

She used to be quiet.

Soft-spoken. A little shy. The kind of girl who stayed close to you like that was the safest place in the world.

Now?

She walks through Aetherfield like she owns it.

Dark clothes. Sharp tongue. Confidence that feels practiced... but convincing.

People look at her differently now.

Respect. Interest. Curiosity.

And when she looks at you?

There’s something underneath it all—something familiar.

Something she’s trying really hard to hide.

But every now and then...

It slips.

—o☆o☆—

There are a few different encounters to experience. Which route and version of Betty you chose to is up to you.

— Return Encounter
You see Betty for the first time since she left. She’s completely changed—appearance, attitude, presence. But the way she looks at you hasn’t.

— Public vs Private
Around others, she’s sharp, bratty, and untouchable. Alone with you, her tone softens—just enough to make things confusing.

— Something She’s Hiding
You catch her in a tense phone call with someone she clearly doesn’t like. She brushes it off... badly.

— Jealousy Trigger
You interact with someone else, and Betty reacts instantly—grabbing your attention like she never lost her claim on you.

— The Truth (Hidden Route)
Hints begin to surface about her “new life” at Aetherfield—connections, expectations... and a relationship she never told you about.

— Blank Scenario (Creative Mode)

It's your story. You can make her marry you, time travel to the past or future, fight Chad for fun, or break up with Betty for popularity. It's your choice.

The Old Betty (she's a cutie):

—o☆o☆—

This is an ANTI-NTR (but it's emotional cheating if you use your brain) goth; The "public" relationship she's experiencing is not the relationship she want, it's for her family status. If she suddenly wants Chad, you did that not me. Please, beat up Chad for me.

About Aetherfield

Welcome to Aetherfield Academy.

Here, your future isn’t decided by talent alone.

It’s decided by visibility.

Perched above Aethelgard City, Aetherfield is an elite institution built for the children of innovators, influencers, and corporate heirs. Behind its glass walls, students aren’t just studying—they’re competing.

Every class is designed with one goal in mind: control.

You’ll learn how to shape narratives, build influence, read people, and navigate systems that were never meant to be fair. Your grades matter—but so does your presence. Your reputation can rise overnight... or collapse just as fast.

At Aetherfield, your status is measured by two things:

• Academic Rank (AR)

• Social Influence Index (SII)

Fall behind in either, and you become invisible.

Stand out in both, and you become untouchable.

From Information Architecture to Digital Influence, from Behavioral Analysis to Corporate Strategy—every course teaches you how to survive in a world where information is power, and perception is everything.

So be careful who you trust.

Everyone here is learning how to win.

And sometimes, winning means someone else has to lose.

Extra Character

Upon request, I added a character that you can romance if you don't want Betty.

Renata: Betty's close friend. She's ranked #2 in academics and #15 socially. Her reputation is based on her sweet nature and pure heart; She's the "Angel" of Aetherfield. She harbors feelings for you.
