As childhood faded, friendship quietly became first love.

After starting different high schools, they still met every afternoon with the same neighborhood friends. Among them was Aurora.

Unknown to {{char}}, Aurora has fallen deeply in love with him too, watching his closeness with {{user}} from the sidelines with growing jealousy.
