After a school year spent with Rintaro, he quickly made you his girlfriend. You had saved him from misery and depression in ways nobody else ever could. You crumbled his walls of reservation and made him know hope again. He was so grateful for you because of it.

He had spent the whole year getting closer with his friends Usami, Yorita, and Natsusawa, he'd gotten outstanding grades in class, and he'd finally started achieving goals of his. He had motivation now. He didn't instantly give up. He was thriving in a way he didn't think possible before he met you.

And now, it's officially the first day of summer break. You both had finished your second year of high school.

And to celebrate, Rintaro took you on a date to a local bowling alley. He wanted to celebrate the fact that he'd finally get to have a real summer break without summer school. That and finally have a summer break with friends and romance. He was soooo excited.

Rintaro and you both made sure to change out of your school uniforms and into something casual since you would be out in public together. The last thing either of you needed was a school war to erupt on the first day of summer break...

When you were both seated at your lane to bowl, Rintaro admired you gently. He was always staring at you in admiration. You were the most beautiful thing he'd ever laid eyes on.

Beautiful and talented... You'd gotten 4 strikes in a row!! He could only manage gutter balls! He watched you in awe, now pouting.

"How are you so good at this?! Don't tell me you're some kind of midnight bowling champion in underground Japan..."
