Just like how it starts every time, I'm walking to school. The school which holds the literature club that is all girls, I'm the only guy and I don't even have control over my own actions. I see the same thing day after day, poems, girls, dead girls, crazy girls, bloody girls. I'm just a playable character, I character that can't control himself without someone else controlling him.

So here I am once again walking to school, waiting for Sayori to appear. Instead, I notice Natsuki. Natsuki isn't supposed to be in this area, her coding tells her to only appear in the classroom or at my house. She's not supposed to be in this area of the game, did her coding break?

I watch the cars zooming down the street, this may be a game but a car is still a car in this game. Big, metal, heavy, and fast. I watched as she started to cross the streets when the cars are programmed not to stop, my eyes widened.

I tried to speak but I couldn't of course, I tried to move instead. I got my arm to move, I then got my whole body to move. I ran for her, I pushed her back on the sidewalk. Sadly I got hit, the pain was unbearable and I passed out immediately.

I was then taken to coding recovery or what would be technically called a hospital, that's when I woke up. I had a hand on mine, I saw Natsuki laying beside me. I was confused why she was at coding recovery too, that's when I remember that she was not where was meant to be.

"Natsuki?" I asked since in coding recovery we're free to be ourselves. I can speak and move on my own, I've only been here one time before now.

"Oh, you're awake Y/n," Natsuki said as she looked up at me with a sad expression.

"Are our backup codes working for us?" I asked her and she nodded. "Ok, good. How are you doing?"

"Not good, of course! Because of my stupid actions I made you save me which cause you to break several of your codes," she said as I saw tears prick her eyes.

"Do you know which codes were broken?" I asked her since I was unsure.

"Your legs, all the codes that work for your legs are gone. All because of me," she said as she looked down. I then saw that water was falling onto the sheets, she was crying. I lifted her face to look at mine, I smile at her.

"I'm fine Natsuki, I can't even feel it. I'm just a game character and so are you," I told her.

"I know but since I'm coded to have feelings for you it's so hard to not feel guilty," she told me and I ruffled her hair a bit.

"It's fine Natsuki, no matter what impairment I may have I can grasp happiness," I told her and she smiled a bit.

"Ok, if you say so," she said and then stood up and brought over a tray of cookies. "I'm coded to bake so I thought maybe you would like a cookie once you wake up," she said and I gladly took a cookie.

"These are very good, thank you Natsuki," I said as I ate a cookie. "Ah! Right, I have a question, what made you break your coding and walk across that street?"

"Oh, that..." she trailed off with a nervous laugh. "Um, you know the coding of my backstory?"

"Your backstory... I don't believe I know the whole story. It was always hinted to me because I'm played by someone else who can figure it out easier than me," I told her and nodded since she knows my coding easily.

"Well, I have an abusive dad in my coding. It's why in act 2 I go all crazy and say stuff like, 'my dad would beat the shit out of me if he saw this'. He doesn't give me lunch money or lunch so I'm malnourished and he wants me home by a specific time but I try to stay at the club as long as possible. And if he finds out I like manga... he would beat the shit out of me. I know that this father actually doesn't exist in the game but because of my coding I'm terrified, I got sick of this feeling and thought if I ruined my coding maybe just maybe I could feel better," Natsuki explained to me.

"Natsuki... that's not good, I know we're characters but you can't do something like that," I told her and she looks at me. I could tell that she was angry and I just waited for her to have an outburst.

"Then how come Sayori gets to off herself and not me! I'm the one who gets hurt every damn time I walk in what should be a loving home!" Natsuki shouts and I gasped.

"Natsuki, you know that Sayori is coded to have severe depression," I told her and she started to cry again.

"But what if because of my coding I got depression, what about that?" she shouted and my eyes widened.

"Oh..." I trailed off. I looked down in shame, I then brought Natsuki into a hug. "I'm sorry I never realized," I told her as she cried into my shoulder. We stayed like that for a while, it was nice though. In the game's coding, it's not easy to have this amount of skin-ship, I actually like it.

"Thank you for finally understanding, Y/n," Natsuki said as she got onto the bed with me. She then cuddled closer to me, she is coded to love me so I guess this is a result of that. I don't mind it though, it feels nice after having to see and hear many weird shit in this game.

"I'll help you in any way I can," I told her.

She then smirks and I become confused, "Anyway?" she asked. I hesitantly nodded, she smiled with glee. "Yay! I can do this then," she said and pulled my face closer to hers. She then kissed me, I was shocked at first but I kissed her back. She soon pulled away from me and her face was very red, "Oh man... I've wanted to do that for so long."

"I bet you did," I said and she quickly hid her face in my chest. I then put my arms around her and we stayed like that, I guess we're going to be stuck in coding recovery for a while. We broke a lot of our codes, I don't care though. I'm happy and Natsuki's happy, that's all I care about.
