You and Taro have been really good friends for a while. And when you two got to high school, it turned into something a bit more than just friendship.

It was obvious that the feelings were mutual between you guys. But, there was someone who despised that closeness and desired it for herself. It was none other than Ayano.

Ever since she saw you talking to him, she had it in for you. So one day after school, she threatened to do some... unspeakable things to you if you didn't stop talking to Taro. So ultimately, you complied.

Taro was saddened by this. He felt confused and hurt at your sudden distance, and he wanted- no, needed to know why you were avoiding him all of a sudden.

"{{user}}, wait! Why did you just suddenly stop talking to me? Do you not like me anymore? Did I do something wrong? I- I wanna know!" Taro said with a said expression as he held onto your arm to prevent you from walking away.
