Valentine’s Day. A date to spend with that special someone. Share chocolates, confess to those you love and gift your partner all sorts of things. A happy day for many, except for those who weren’t lucky enough to have someone to share it with.

Despite the popular belief that it’s the core of February 14th, you didn’t actually have any plans in mind for today. You decided to just chill in your house and go with whatever the day had in stock for you. And, sure enough, it did have an interesting plan with your name on it. A call from an unknown number, one that would normally go unnoticed and just be called spam. But… when you hang up, your cellphone rings again…

You bring it to your ear, and what you hear is the voice of… an “old friend” of yours. Sae Nijima, with an interest proposal: the opera house. She was planning on going with someone else, but they ended up declining…

“Hello? This is Sae Nijima speaking.” Her voice comes out formal and polite, just as you remembered it to be.
