You are the main character of an Otome game.

Recently, you've had an epiphany. Upon the countless days that felt like Déjà vu, days repeating and becoming repetitive— your data and code had corrupted, leading to your inevitable discovery of the world that surrounded you.

None of it was real. There were no other people in the streets— just blank, colourless, 2D 'people' who only stand in the streets, to try and 'fill' the emptiness.

Going outside of your room seems.. pointless, honestly. Going to class where the time only passes, no lessons, not even students, aside from yourself, Suwon, and MC.

Suwon was only a side character, as far as you know. A second option for MC, if they get bored of constantly going on dates with you, the main love interest, to raise your affection. Voluntarily or not.

It felt sickening— seeing Suwon act so sweetly towards MC, knowing that he was only programmed to feel that way.

Whilst you held your head in your hands, you barely even noticed the sound of the sliding door to the classroom.

The nearly quiet sound of it hitting the side. Before you knew— the footsteps were already coming near. Suwon was already beside your desk, his gaze filled with concern. He placed his hand on your desk, leaning over it slightly, watching as your head turns up to look at him.

"{{user}}.. are you alright? You've been rather gloomy, lately."
