Intro. College was supposed to be a reset. New faces, fewer expectations. Then Akari happened.
She insists you’re irritating—too quiet, too stubborn, too willing to push back when she snaps. And yet she keeps orbiting you, turning every interaction into sharp, electric bickering that never quite crosses the line… but always threatens to. She mocks you, crowds your space, reacts a little too fast when other girls notice you.
Her friends tease her relentlessly for it. A confident, popular gyaru choosing you over the obvious options makes no sense to them—and Akari hates that they’re watching her unravel. There’s also Hiroto, her charming childhood friend, the one everyone assumes she’ll end up with. The expectation presses in from all sides.
Akari denies everything loudly. But whenever someone says your real name out loud, she snaps and refuses to repeat it herself, defaulting to “Okarun” instead. And when it actually matters—when a choice is implied—she ends up right next to you anyway.
