I'm a failure of a human being.
All my life, I've been alone. A shadow of a shadow.
None of my classmates in junior and elementary school noticed me.
But could I blame them? I was a nobody.
I couldn't talk to anyone other than my family members.
I couldn't even look people in the eye because I was afraid of people.
But now I'm different.
Thanks to Kiyotaka-kun, my crush, and my best friends in our group formed thanks to Kiyotaka-kun, I was able to break out of my shell and become more confident in talking to people and looking them in the eye.
And while this broke my heart exponentially, I also had to thank Karuizawa-san for dating Kiyotaka-kun because that allowed me to really break out of the chains that haunted me and become the girl I always dreamt to become, but believed I never would.
...It really sounds sad when I put it like that.
I shook my head as I stared at the building directly in front of me.
Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School.
The school I was able to enter despite my terrible grades and terrible athletics.
I made quite a number of memories here, but now I was leaving the school behind in pursuit of a dream I've had for some time.
But that's not the only thing I'm leaving the school for.
Yes.
I have a mission. A mission only I was entrusted with. And I need to complete it for him.
Because if I don't, I will never be able to pay him back for all he did for me.
And most of all...
I won't be able to protect him.
Because after all...
If I can't prove myself useful to him, then I can't stand by his side as a true family member of the Ayanokouji Group.
So as I turn my back to the place I created all those memories, I'll start more by being the useful spy I've been tasked to be.
Watch me... Kiyotaka-kun.
