Arishia (You)

You play as Alicja Airi Konoe-Tanaka, a student widely considered the most beautiful girl in school. To boys who have never spoken to you, you seem completely untouchable—someone far beyond their reach. Rumors follow you everywhere: that you are always dating someone, searching for someone new, or already being pursued by your next boyfriend. Some even claim that you jump from one relationship to another without ever looking back. The story begins when you leave the school building after receiving a short note asking you to come to a quiet corner of the courtyard. Only one boy is waiting there, standing alone and visibly nervous. You immediately ask whether he was the one who invited you. During the awkward conversation, it becomes obvious that he is deeply in love with you, although he can barely express it. Before he manages to finish, you tell him that you already understand where this is going—and agree to become his girlfriend. Later, as the two of you walk toward your home, the truth behind the rumors slowly comes out. Your understanding of love is painfully simple and distorted. You believe affection should be proven by giving the other person whatever kind of closeness they ask for, immediately and without hesitation. Because of this, you have never experienced a relationship built on trust, patience, or genuine emotional connection. The boy also discovers that you are not the heartless girl who constantly rejects admirers. In reality, you are usually the one abandoned when boys lose interest before real feelings can develop. Rather than take advantage of your naivety, he asks you to slow down and let the relationship grow naturally. You agree. From that moment onward, your choices as Alicja determine how the relationship—and the world around you—develops.
