[You found the right moment.]
[You tugged lightly at his sleeve and, as Toru froze for a brief moment, the words of your confession spilled out.]
[At this instant, your heart felt a little tense.]
[The winter wind was cold, yet your cheeks were slightly burning, unable to feel the chill at all.]
[Your fragile heart was pounding at its limit, but in order to hear his answer, you prepared to hold on until the very last second.]
["Is that… not allowed?"]
[Your voice was faint, trembling slightly in the cold wind.]
[Toru did not answer right away. He only tugged at your loose scarf and wrapped it tighter around you.]
[When a gentle warmth returned, his answer reached your ears.]
["If you are willing to grow old together with me, then of course it is." Toru said with a soft smile.]
[You buried your head against his chest.]
["…Mm."]
[He agreed. He did not reject you. That is wonderful.]
[However, the promise of growing old together is something you may not be able to keep. You suddenly feel a bit torn between gain and loss, but since the confession finally succeeded, you push these thoughts aside for now.]
[After calming down from your shyness, you leave Toru's chest and, feeling a little bold, take his hand.]
[The time you have with him is not much. Taking things slowly like an ordinary couple definitely will not do.]
[Before leaving this world, you plan to experience everything a couple should do.]
Everything…?
It would not include that kind of thing, right?
Tachibana Kanade does not quite dare to look anymore.
She saw Toru's filthy thing once with her own eyes and only managed to forget it with great difficulty.
Now it comes rushing back again.
[Holding hands, hugging, dating, kissing…]
[And in the end, offering him your precious thing.]
A strange thought suddenly occurs to Tachibana Kanade.
If, when another version of herself is accompanying Toru during that kind of lewd activity, she were to use a first person perspective, what would happen?
Personally experiencing it…?
No, that is too twisted.
[Please note, player. In accordance with respect for personal privacy, this simulator prohibits observation during reproduction.]
I am just thinking about it.
I would not actually do it.
[If the player is curious, you may choose to enter the simulator and experience it yourself.]
Tachibana Kanade ignores the simulator's suggestion.
She presses the button to continue the simulation.
[After you start dating, your relationship with him grows better and better.]
[It quickly attracts the attention of acquaintances. Hiroi Kikuri feels gratified. The cp she ships has finally become real.]
[Ijichi Nijika proactively offers her congratulations.]
[Yamada Ryo does not take you to heart. When she likes someone, she never cares whether he has a girlfriend or not.]
This is the first time Tachibana Kanade has noticed how frightening Miss Ryo is.
[Gotoh Hitori feels a little jealous, but still congratulates you.]
Gotoh-san is so gentle.
I like her.
[Kita, as the mastermind behind all of this, is happy to see it happen.]
"Why is she so happy about this?"
Tachibana Kanade still cannot understand Kita's way of thinking.
Such a mysterious woman.
[The fact that you became a couple does not cause much of a stir.]
[In order to keep your condition from worsening, Toru makes three rules with you. The number of intimate interactions each day is strictly controlled within a certain range, to prevent your heart from beating too fast and placing extra strain on it.]
[The second month of your relationship.]
[You have your first kiss.]
[His kissing technique is somewhat practiced, not as awkward as you imagined.]
[You voice your doubts, and Toru explains that he practiced in private.]
[You do not press the matter further. It is normal for a boy to have some emotional history. When ordinary girls date, they might even dislike a partner with no relationship experience.]
[Still, a boy as skilled as Toru is also quite rare.]
[You feel that he must have dated six times before. No, at least ten girlfriends.]
["I have never had a relationship in my life," Toru answers you like this.]
[His gaze is earnest and clear, as if he is not lying.]
[In the end, the matter is left unresolved.]
[A girl should not be too willful. This is something you read in a book.]
[Affection is not something that can be consumed without limit. During the honeymoon phase, having fewer suspicions can make a relationship last longer.]
[After the first kiss, you gradually adapt to this kind of stimulation, and the burden on your heart lessens a little.]
[In the months that follow.]
[You go to the aquarium and watch a dolphin show.]
[You go camping at the foot of Mount Fuji and enjoy warm, intimate time together.]
[At the tail end of winter, you and your boyfriend fly south. He takes you to try diving.]
[Perhaps because you played too wildly for too long, once you return to Tokyo, you are admitted to the hospital again.]
[Your mother is somewhat dissatisfied with Toru, saying that he took you running around and did not pay attention to your health.]
[Toru humbly accepts it and firmly refuses to change.]
[You spend a week recuperating.]
[After being discharged.]
[Without a moment's delay, Toru buys two tickets to the amusement park.]
[Thrilling rides like roller coasters are of course not for you, but you still feel happy.]
[After getting tired, Toru sits on a bench and looks up at the sky.]
["Actually, I once suffered from a very serious illness…"]
[Your boyfriend pauses for a few seconds, then continues. "At that time, I felt like I was not far from death, so I wanted to make my life as fulfilling as possible."]
["I practiced instruments relentlessly, squeezing out every bit of my potential, trying to reach the highest point."]
["I set a whole bunch of goals I wanted to complete before dying…"]
[You listen quietly.]
["But later, I suddenly figured it out. To me, the value of every day is the same. No matter what I do, no matter how fulfilling it is, a day only has twenty four hours. An ordinary day and a magnificent day are essentially no different. From then on, I stopped thinking about last wishes."]
[To Toru, every ordinary day is a continuous miracle.]
["What happened after that?"]
["Then the miracle happened. My illness was cured. Modern medical technology is amazing."]
[You suspect all of this is a lie he wove, yet his expression does not seem deceptive at all.]
[You fall into thought.]
[Seeing this, your boyfriend smiles and says,]
["Kanade, people who believe in miracles are themselves as incredible as miracles."]
["…Mm."]
[After this round of comforting words, your previously anxious mood improves quite a bit.]
[From this point on, you no longer think about whether your wish list can be completed.]
[Cherishing the person in front of you may be what you should do instead.]
[At the end of this day's amusement park trip, you board a Ferris wheel that is slightly thrilling.]
[In the night, you gaze at his face.]
[You hope that this kind of time can continue.]
[Forever.]
