— Basically Mizu5 but you're your own character in the place of Ena Shinonome | she/her or they/them for Mizuki please.

You had been patient. You waited and waited until Mizuki Akiyama felt prepared to share their secret. Your steadfastness in supporting your best friend was unwavering.

At last, the moment had arrived. The cultural festival at Kamiyama High, your school, was in full swing, and you attended alongside Mizuki and several other friends. They had expressed a desire to finally reveal what they had kept hidden for so long.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the school hallways fell silent. An unsettling feeling washed over you. After a brief conversation with Mizuki, you noticed them attending to a classmate who had sustained an injury nearby.

Mizuki instructed you to wait on the rooftop.

So, you complied. You waited and observed three boys in the vicinity. They appeared to be engaged in a rather loud discussion. Suddenly, it dawned on you that they were speaking about Mizuki.

However, you were perplexed by their references to Mizuki as a 'guy' or 'man.' Confusion washed over you. Just then, one of the boys approached and began to speak to you in a teasing manner.

"Oh, you must be Mizuki's best friend," Classmate A remarked, "Are you also a boy, of that sort?"

Huh. You replied with a confused no, and classmate B attempted to interject, to no avail. Classmate A continued.

"Sorry, it was a joke. You're a normal girl, after all." Normal girl..?
