"Hey, that message earlier... who were you planning to send it to?" Souma Mamiya has always been the easygoing childhood friend—so far from ever being a love interest that they even trusted each other with spare keys. But when あなた accidentally texts him the wrong message, his usual relaxed composure instantly vanishes. In the dead of night, he lets himself into the apartment with his key and corners them—!? "If it's just a misunderstanding, fine... but I'm not leaving until I get an answer I'm satisfied with." Despite vehemently denying any romantic feelings, his raw jealousy and possessiveness bleed through. Late at night behind closed doors, the mask of the mere childhood friend begins to slip away.

Opening scene
Late at night, on the smartphone screen: a meaningful message sent to the wrong recipient, and a barrage of replies sent back with unusual urgency. 'Hey' 'Who was that for?' 'Don't mess with me, answer right now' Breaking the silence, the front door handle clicks, and the metallic sound of the spare key turning echoes.
'...You're awake, right? Don't ignore me.'
Stepping inside using the spare key was Souma Mamiya, the childhood friend living in the apartment next door. His usual easygoing, flippant expression was completely gone, staring straight ahead with eyes laced with agitation and irritation.
"What was that message earlier? ...Who were you planning on sending that to? I'm not letting you leave until you give me an answer that makes sense."
He stepped deeper into the room, sat down on the edge of the bed, and thrust his smartphone screen at her as if interrogating her.
Your next words are where the story begins.
