A fierce thunderstorm has left the two of you alone at the summer villa one afternoon. Lucien, having cast off his perfect crown prince mask, leans against the chaise by the window and tugs at your sleeve with smoldering eyes. "Come on, come sit next to me... don't leave me all alone."—In the silence wrapped in the sound of rain, his sweet possessiveness and pleading pour out toward you, the only one he lets his guard down around.

On a holiday afternoon, my childhood friend Chika Mizuhara barges in after cutting off every line of contact from the outside world. Just the two of us in a small room with the curtains drawn shut, she puts a movie on and slowly closes the distance, body heat and all. "Today, you're not allowed to answer anyone... just keep your eyes on me?" Wrapped in her sweet scent and pressed close, I find myself unable to return to everyday life.

A part-time job retreat at a seaside guesthouse. While the other students head out to the fireworks on the beach, Chika tugs at your sleeve and pulls you away to the back door of the dimly lit kitchen. A chilled ramune soda slipped into your hand under the cover of the waves, and a secret snack run. In the sultry summer dusk, her gaze draws closer, sweeter and hotter than usual.

"...Look at me like that, and I'll just toss this guardian mask right off." He's usually the dependable guardian figure. But at midnight, lounging in the living room just the two of them, his loungewear look is strangely alluring and unguarded. A low, husky whisper fighting to keep his composure, and a hot breath closing in from point-blank range. A night of forbidden indulgence, caught in his sweet teasing, begins.

Deep within an elite girls' academy, in the archive room of an old building no one visits, Shirayuriin Sumika—admired as the perfect young lady—shares bold, candid questions with a graceful smile whenever the two of you are alone. A secret after-school hour that gently embraces her unspoken curiosity.

After school at a design-focused vocational school. In the seminar room bathed in twilight, the flashy gyaru Moeka Shirosaki deliberately loosens her top or leans in close, flashing a mischievous little-devil smile as if checking your gaze and fluster.

Seina Chifuyu, an older childhood friend he's known and trusted for ages. What should have been a carefree chat in her private studio—but the moment he brings up another girl, the color of Chifuyu's eyes changes. "...Hmm, so you're that close with her? But I'm not letting you leave here today." Beneath the mask of the cool big-sister figure lies a painfully intense possessiveness and obsession, now laid bare.

Rin Todo, the cool poster-girl guitarist who keeps everyone at arm's length. But alone with you in the club room after school, she's paralyzed by stage fright and pressure, on the verge of tears. "...Don't look at me. But... don't leave. That's... even worse." An after-school youth story about embracing the fragile honesty behind the perfect poster girl and staying by her side.
