When fate unites a quiet otaku with an angelic girl in search of happiness, Hazel and I form an unbreakable bond. Discover the tale of our meeting, how she rescued me, placed her trust in me, and devoted herself to our friendship. But my actions shattered her heart, just like those I once shielded her from. Now, with remorse dawning on me, I've come to a painful realization. I should have shielded her from myself. Dear Hazel, if you're reading this, know that I won't beg for another chance. Instead, I offer a glimpse into our shared chapters-the story I penned during sleepless nights. From Day 0 to Day 8, Hazel and I embark on a journey where love and friendship intertwine, where we were once everything to each other. "Who?" you may ask. The answer lies within the pages of "Hazel and I," a nine-chapter story, a heartfelt gift to commemorate your birthday. Today, I set you free, my dear friend.
