I staggered into Furukawa Bakery, with the weight of several rejected confessions on my heart. My stomach was in knots as well.

Sanae was there to greet me. "L/n-san? Are you okay?"

"I feel terrible," I replied. I really did feel terrible. "Please excuse me; I need to go to bed."

"All right. Let me know if you need anything."

I thanked her as I trudged to my room and fell onto the futon, still in my day clothes.

I tried to sleep, but every time I closed my eyes I saw the girls' heartbroken expressions.

"F/n...kun...do you...like...Fuuko?"

I hurt her

"I've really enjoyed our times together..."

I hurt her too

"...you're encouraging, supportive, willing to stand up for what's right..."

And her

"Why...why did you stop?"

"Girlfriend? Girlfriend..."

"The real reason I made this was to...was to..."

i hurt them all...

"...I'm sorry for putting you in that position..."

i'm sorry

"How could you do this to us?"

"I love that about you...I love you."

"L/n-kun: Will you be my boyfriend?"

i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry

"...L/n-kun...it hurts..."

i'm so sorry

"IlikeyouL/nsanPleasebewithme!"

i'm a bad person

"L/n-san?"

...

"L/n-san?!"

...

"L/N-SAN!"

...

"MOM! DAD! SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH L/N-SAN!"

"How long has he been like this?"

*sobbing* "I don't know, I found him like this this morning!"

"That's...SIX HOURS?!"

"L/n-kun..."

"What's he looking at?"

"I don't think he's looking at anything! Creepy!"

"Well, he just blinked, so that's something good."

"He's breathing, too."

"Has he eaten anything?"

"How would he eat like this, genius?"

"I brought my things, so I can make something for him if it would help."

"Thank you, Miyazawa-san! Let me help you with that."


"Tch. Serves him right, treating all of you like that."

"Dad! L/n's a nice guy! He's probably hurting from having to turn us down! Am I right, Kotomi-chan?"

"I would agree. He cares for all of us, so to hurt any of us, let alone all of us, would be unconscionable to him."

"Anyway! Is there some way to snap him out of it?"

"L/n-kun...please wake up..."

"Maybe a kiss? Like the princess in that one story?"

"He's not asleep, and keep your wishful thinking to yourself, 'childhood friend'!"

"What about Fuuko-san?"

"Huh?"

"He's in love with Fuuko-san, right?"

"Of course! Good thinking, Miyazawa-san!"

"But she's still in the hospital, isn't she?"

"The school."

"Tomoyo-san?"

"He's said that she appears at the school somehow. I'll carry him to the school then."

"Of course! Fu-chan can help him."

"Nagisa? You call her 'Fu-chan'?"

"I...guess so. When did I start calling her that?"

"Now that you mention it, that name...makes me sad for some reason."

"You, too?"

"Onee-chan?"

"Enough about the sad names, okay?! Let's get going!"
