It's dark.

You don't remember.

Not because you don't want to.

But because you can't.

Would you like to continue?

[Yes]

[No]

Those same exact words display on your screen.

Those same exact words that haven't been burned in your mind yet.

You have to choose.

Would you like to continue?

[Yes]<-----

[No]

There is no choice to be chosen.

You are on a pre-determined path.

Your screen turns black.

You're on a bench in a nearby park. You feel a bit cold.

"Hi!"

You heard someone's voice behind you.

You turn around to see a young looking boy.

"Are you here alone?" The boy asked.

[Leave]

[Say hello back]<-----

"Hello! Why are you talking to me?"

"It's a Saturday and it's nice out."

Why doesn't he just relax by himself?

Although he is cute..

[Leave]

[Flirt]

[Chat]<-----

"Come on sit with me."

"Oh, okay.."

The boy sits down next to you closely, his hand almost touching yours.

[Leave]

[Introduce Yourself]<-----

[Stay Silent]

"I'm..."

What is your name?

[______________] [Submit]

What is your name?

[______F_______] [Submit]<-----

"I'm F"

"Oh! And I'm Mikoto." He smiled.

His smile felt a bit insincere...

"What are you doing here?"

[Leave]

[Truth]<-----

[Lie]

"It feels familiar here, I like it."

"Ah! I feel that it's familiar too, like I've been here many times before."

"Is this your first time here?"

"Yeah, it is. The reason why I approached you is because I think I've met you before."

You change the subject.

"Do you have any hobbies that doesn't include talking to strangers?"

You freeze up, remembering you don't really do anything besides work.

"Actually, I don't really remember anything also." He let out a small sigh.

Did he just read the protagonist's mind? What is this visual novel?

You look at your phone, it's getting late.

Weird. It was just nine a second ago.

[Leave]

[Leave your number]<-----

You get a piece of scrap paper from your pocket and write down your number in it.

You give it to Mikoto.

He had a confused look on his face followed by an awkward smile.

[Leave]

[Stay]<-----

You stay.

The atmosphere becomes awkward. Maybe it's your queue to leave.

[Leave]

[Stay]<-----

You stay.

He scoots over to the edge of the bench, avoiding eye contact.

[Stay]<--/--

You leave. You feel like your presence was unpleasant..

You notice the music stopped.

You return home safely. Waiting for him to text you.

You suddenly doze off.

You didn't even shower or brush your teeth. You feel gross.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You minimize the game window and turn off your computer.

You fall on your bed and wonder why you downloaded this "game" anyway..

You should find out how to stop this.

But you're too tired.

You didn't eat you didn't drink, nothing special.

You sleep.

Goodnight
