[ When you enter the TV, the room surrounding you is notably blank - appearing something like this. Which may seem odd, until words appear out of thin air in front of you: ]

Today, we're going to go through an interactive story of sorts!

You're a college student who's just transferred to a new university, and you have a week to make new friends and potentially find that ~special someone~ people always worry about having.

Luckily for you, your college has a club fair for transfer students just like you! You're headed off there to meet some of your fellow students and get a better lay of the land.

But before we begin, there's just one important thing I need to get down...who are you?

MANAMI - EVENT #5.

[inbeta]

You come up to the roof, where Mizushima is waiting for you.



MINAMI: Tachibana-kun....thank you for coming.



YASUHIRO: No problem, I like spending time with you. What's up?



MINAMI: I'm never going to say it if I don't just say it, so...Tachibana-kun....I think I’m, uhm, falling in love with you.

> I love you too, Manami…
> I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same.

Well this one seems easier.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[glorifiedtrash]

This is usually where I would walk away. But you may be right. I find this severely hard to mess up.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[secretofthefox]

Where you'd walk away? But why?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[glorifiedtrash]

Love is much too troublesome for someone like me. I just want the fun with none of the responsibility. So, do you want to turn in for us?

Re: DISCUSSION.

[secretofthefox]

...I don't really get it. But sure, I'll turn in.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[glorifiedtrash]

Think of it this way: would you make a promise you knew you didn't have the ability to keep? It's something like that.

Re: DISCUSSION.

[secretofthefox]

Why wouldn't you be able to keep it, though? I mean, if you like them back...

Re: DISCUSSION.

[glorifiedtrash]

Lots of reasons. Even if you're in love you may not be compatible. Your living situations might be at odds. Duties, jobs... Even your nationalities or species might conflict.

When we first fall in love we like to think it's simple. That we can make it work. But, in some cases, distance is best. For both of you.

It takes youth to disregard that and try anyway.

YASUHIRO: I love you too, Manami...



MANAMI: ...I'm glad. I'm so glad to hear you say that, Yasuhiro...

She hugs you, and you hold her tight, breathing in the sweet smell of her shampoo. The two of you spend the day hanging out together, and after it's over you feel like the two of you have never been closer.
