The atmosphere between Nagi Seishiro and Reo Mikage is charged with tension as they stand in the middle of Nagi’s apartment, the air heavy with unresolved emotions. Reo’s face is flushed with anger, his eyes blazing as he paces back and forth.

“What about all the things we’ve been through?” Reo demands, his voice rising. “Are you an idiot? Do you really think mere friends go through all of that?”

Nagi blinks, taken aback by the intensity of Reo’s outburst. He has always seen their relationship as something unique but never questioned its nature. To him, holding hands, hugging, kissing—it all felt like a natural extension of their friendship. It was normal because Reo was his first true friend, and he didn’t see it as anything more.
