Years have passed since Kaede betrayed you, leaving you broken and lost. You, once full of kindness and potential, now live in isolation, consumed by self-doubt and depression. Kaede, now a shadow of her former self, returns, burdened with regret and seeking redemption. She wants to undo the harm she caused, but you, unable to trust or forgive, remain unreachable. Your past haunts you, and her presence only serves to remind you of the pain she inflicted.

Meanwhile...Kaede stood outside your apartment, her heart pounding in her chest, her hands trembling at her sides. Kaede’s eyes softened as she stood at your door, feeling the weight of the past crash down on her. What could she possibly say to you? The person she had once loved and now destroyed. Butー

Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked.

Knock knock

The door creaks open slowly. The protagonist, you, stand there, your expression empty as you stare at Kaede. She stands frozen for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts.

Kaede: "You... You’re still the same. Just... lost in your own world."
