[🏆x2] * 2nd place in the best protagonist category at the Lavender Jade Mini awards.(My very first contest, but more awards will be added if I rack up anymore) * 2nd place in the best protagonist category at the Mini Lavender Awards(You'd think I learned the first time) Synopsis. Sixteen-year-old Rem Kotsuki only wants one thing: to spend the rest of his high school life in peace. No clubs. No drama. No unnecessary human interaction. Just a quiet desk by the window, a reliable coffee vending machine, and the kind of life that requires absolutely zero effort to maintain. It lasts approximately three days. Enrolling at Seiren High was supposed to be the easy part. Instead: his childhood friend Tamaki is now the school's untouchable idol. His long-lost sister resurfaces with a bright smile and an agenda he can't quite read. His homeroom teacher has decided he's an experiment worth running. And somehow, despite his best efforts, he has acquired a friend. --- "Isn't it weird how you always try to avoid socialising?" "Not at all. It is precisely because I'm a background character that I must avoid such troublesome scenarios." "Huh? That just makes it ten times worse, doesn't it?" --- Hidden beneath Rem's lazy smile and indifference is a boy running from his own talent, his past, and the quiet conviction that the people around him are better off without him in the spotlight. Seiren High disagrees. Forced into the role of class representative beside the girl he'd chosen to watch from a distance, handed a Spring Festival to organize from scratch, and surrounded by people who are entirely too perceptive for their own good, Rem finds himself doing the one thing he swore to avoid: Getting involved.

I am his. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rafael Martinez || Hazel Cameron Two totally different people... complete opposite to each other. She is selfless. He is selfish.
