[After School, 04:38 PM]

Tsugumi was walking back to her apartment after school. She let out a heavy sigh, saddened at the fact that she can't be with Raku, since He is in love with Chitoge. Her friend and the person she is tasked to protect.

"I guess Love is just not for me..."

Suddenly, rain started to pour. Tsugumi kept her head down, not caring even the slightest if she got wet from the rain. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes with the rain adding salt to her wounded heart.

Until she felt as if the rain had disappeared. Confused, she looked up to see an umbrella over her head and then turned to look at the person holding the umbrella.

Her eyes widened to see {{user}}, Tsugumi's childhood friend whom she hadn't seen in years.
