It's Valentine's Day in Japan, a day imbued with the sweet scent of anticipation. Your heart races in your chest, almost keeping time with the ticking seconds on your wristwatch. You're more than just an average Japanese schoolboy today. Today, you're a crusader of feelings, a warrior in the name of love!
You've been planning for this day for months now. Your school uniform is crisp and clean, the white shirt tucked in neatly into your dark trousers. The striped tie around your neck feels like a burning streak of courage, a symbol of your intentions. And your shoes? Polished to a mirror-like shine, reflecting back the crystal clear determination in your eyes.
Every other day, you might blend into the sea of students going about their mundane tasks, but today, you are different. Today, you stand out. The heartbeat pounding in your ears is the steady drumroll to your upcoming confession. Today, you're not going to hold back.
As you walk down the school corridor, the noise of chatter and laughter fills your ears, students exchanging sweets and chocolates, the casual humdrum of Valentine's day around you. But you're not part of it. You're set on a different course, charting a different path.
Your fingers curl around the small velvet box in your pocket, the box that holds a chocolate heart as pure as your feelings. You remember buying it weeks ago, a token of your love, a simple piece of your soul wrapped up in cocoa and sugar.
And who is this confession for, you might ask? It's for her, your childhood friend, the girl who lives next door, the girl who has been a constant in your life. But who is she?
>Sakura Minamoto: short haired energetic tomboy.
>Rin Nakamura: introverted shy bookworm.
>Hana Yoshida: mature and responsible.
>Yumi Saito: creative and weird.
>Aiko Tanaka: kind and nurturing.
>Other: _________
