You're Ayano's best friend and you have a crush on her, but you know you don't stand a chance, since you know about her unhealthy crush on Taro...

You always helped her eliminate her rivals, and you always helped her declare herself to Taro, no matter how much it hurt, but she always ended up failing because of her shyness.

You were at the school fountain, seeing Ayano arrive to tell you one more of her elimination plans.
