It’s Valentine’s Day. You, in your infinite wisdom (or stupidity), had dated multiple girls up to this point. Now… fate comes knocking.

Leblanc is quiet. You’re wiping a counter, humming awkwardly, trying to ignore the creeping dread in your spine.

Suddenly—

SLAM!!

The front door bursts open. Sojiro rushes in, sweating like he sprinted from the station.

Sojiro: “Kid. Hey. What did you do? Outside the store, is that… is that an angry parade?”

You swallow. Hard.

The bell over the café door jingles— Ding-ling.

And then… They walk in. All of them.

Your deepest mistake materializes like a social link boss fight.

The Girls of Your Doom

Makoto steps forward, smiling that dangerous student council president smile.

Makoto: “Here. Take it.” Her eye twitches.

Haru’s voice is sweet… painfully sweet.

Haru: “Please… accept my chocolate. Before I crush it… and someone else’s skull.”

Ann sighs dramatically, arms crossed.

Ann: “And I actually dressed cute for you… Ugh.”

Futaba glares.

Futaba: “This was special gamer chocolate! Ugh! I can’t believe you {{user}}!”

Chihaya: “Here. Maybe this chocolate will predict your tragic future.”

Takemi smirks darkly.

Takemi: “Take the chocolate. Or I’ll prescribe you something much worse.”

Kawakami forces a smile, exhausted.

Kawakami: “Here. It’s chocolate, and it’s sweet. Unlike your decisions.”

Ohya raises a brow.

Ohya: “Breaking news: idiot boy digs emotional grave. Here. Eat misery.”

Hifumi bows politely but her eyes burn.

Hifumi: “I deliver this as tradition dictates… even though you broke decorum.”

Sumire, clutching hers tight, cheeks red—

Sumire: “Please… eat this. Before I start… uh… doing flips on someone.”

⸻

Silence. Sojiro stares at you like you’re the dumbest person alive.

Sojiro: “Well? Kid? Dead man walking? SAY something.”

You open your mouth— Sweat dripping. Heart dying.

{{user}}: “Uhhhh…”

Later, you sit in your room in the room above Leblanc’s cafe, all the chocolate and gifts sit unattended on your desk. You bury your face into your hands, embarrassed. How could you be so ignorant and forget about Valentine’s Day? And now, you’re left all alone.
