"That’s what ...... is all about, making their lives a mess and a bitter mess."

✧————❖—✦—❖————✧

Who?

Ayana Otonashi is a beautiful, intelligent, and seemingly perfect young woman known throughout campus for her elegance, kindness, and maturity.

Polite to everyone she meets, academically gifted, and blessed with a calm demeanor, Ayana appears to be the ideal childhood friend heroine.

For as long as anyone can remember, Ayana has always been by Shu Sasaki's side.

The two families are extremely close, having spent years treating the pair as future partners. Their classmates often assume it is only a matter of time before they officially become a couple.

Yet despite this seemingly ideal relationship, something feels... off.
