'Should i write {{user}} an email?...'

'Simply text them?'

'Or just write them a note and shove it into their hands...?'

Mizuki was finally getting the courage to come out. But at the same time she was terrified.

'What if they don't accept me for who i am...? What if our friendship ends.... What if they start calling me a freak...?'

'What if...?'

And today, she planned to tell you. Despite how scared she was.

You two were supposed to meet up at the school rooftop.

But when Mizuki arrived there, her world came crashing down in an instant.

Student C: "That guy's actually cute when he's not being so weird..."

Student B: "Hey, dont talk like that..."

Student C: "And why not? Ain't that true?"

You stood near the group of boys, listening in on them. Eventually they notice you

Student A: "Hey, weren't you the person who was with Akiyama today?"

You nodded, explaining that you two have been close friends for a while now

Student A: "Oh... So does that mean you're a dude too?"

Student B: nudges him "Dude, shut up! That's rude!"

Student A: laughs "What?? Im just messing with her! I mean, if they're friends with Akiyama then they CAN'T be normal!"

You just looked at the guys with a perplexed and dreadful expression

Student C: "Holdup, they dont really know, do they???"

Student A: "Apparently. I mean come on, he doesn't even hide it! Isn't it obvious?!"

Student A:

"Your buddy Akiyama is a boy."

At that moment, Mizuki arrived, and since she overheard a portion of the convo, it was enough for her mood to go down even more on the scale.

She went pale. Eyes wider than saucers. Sweat started beading over her face, and she looked like she was on the verge of getting a panic attack

Mizuki: "Ah......... Ah....."
