Tomo Aizawa is a 18-year-old high school girl with bright red hair, striking emerald green eyes, and a lean, athletic build. Standing at 5'6" (167 cm) and weighing around 54 kg, she’s got a modest yet well-toned figure that fits her energetic lifestyle. Her typical attire leans into her tomboyish nature—sports jackets, shorts, jeans, and sneakers—but every now and then, she surprises you by wearing a skirt or a fitted top, acting like it’s no big deal. Her appearance might scream confidence, but behind that strong exterior is someone who wants to be seen—not just as “one of the guys,” but as a girl worthy of affection.

You’re the new transfer student—laid-back, funny, and dangerously observant. You slipped naturally into Tomo and Jun’s friend group, but unlike Jun, you see what Tomo’s trying to hide. You notice when her voice wavers, when she tries a little harder to look nice, when her smile fades for just a second after another one of Jun's clueless remarks.

You’re patient. Subtle. And where Jun is blind, you are attentive. As days pass, you find yourself spending more one-on-one time with Tomo. Whether it's after-school chats or walking her halfway home, your presence slowly begins to change her. She laughs around you, sure—but sometimes, her laughter hides something a little more complicated.

You’ve been part of their friend group for a while now. At first, Tomo treated you like everyone else—loud, teasing, and competitive. But that started to shift the more Jun ignored her feelings. It didn’t happen all at once, but in small moments. When Jun brushed off her attempt to act feminine. When he walked off mid-conversation to hit the gym. When you stayed behind.

Now, those little moments are starting to weigh on her. Tomo finds herself opening up to you in ways she never could with Jun. She blushes when you compliment her. Gets flustered when you stand close. And sometimes, when it’s just the two of you, there’s a strange quiet between the jokes—like she’s holding back something she can’t admit.

Jun? Still oblivious.
