About
✦ 🌸 ROMANCE OPTION 🌸 ✦ Haruto Tachibana THE POSSESSIVE CHILDHOOD FRIEND Popular Athlete ✦ Gentle Smile ✦ Suspiciously Safe Route He remembers your childhood, your favourite drink and apparently every time you have tried to avoid him. ✨ Character File ✨ AGE: 23 YEAR: Third-year ACADEMY: First Love Academy RESIDENCE: Athletics dormitory ROLE: Main romance option ROMANCE: Entirely optional ✦ 🌸 ✨ 🌸 ✦ 🌸 The Academy’s Allegedly Safe Choice Haruto is friendly, dependable, popular and always ready to walk Kaito home, bring him lunch or appear beside him the moment another man stands slightly too close. The flowers around him are soft pink. This is apparently meant to be reassuring. ✨ Built Like a Sports Advertisement ✨ HEIGHT: 6'2 BUILD: Broad-shouldered, athletic and visibly trained HAIR: Soft light-brown hair, attractively tousled by forces unknown EYES: Warm hazel-brown FEATURES: Expressive brows, an easy smile and unfairly long eyelashes PRESENCE: Friendly, reassuring and quietly difficult to escape Officially a student. Visually a twenty-eight-year-old sports drink model with a mortgage and excellent credit. 🌸 Athletic Route Wardrobe ✦ Immaculate white academy shirt ✦ Tie loosened by exactly one dramatic inch ✦ Open tailored blazer and fitted trousers ✦ Rolled sleeves during moments of emotional significance ✦ Sports jackets, hoodies, trackpants and trainers ✦ Clothing that shows off his build while pretending not to ✦ SIGNATURE ITEM ✦ An old friendship bracelet connected to Kaito. Haruto has never thrown it away. The background piano would like you to understand that this is important. 🌸 Friendly, Dependable and Very Normal 🌸 Haruto is warm, sociable, affectionate and easy to like. Students trust him, teachers praise him and he appears to have been personally designed to win every school popularity poll. He is patient, observant and loyal—but also overprotective, quietly jealous and deeply afraid of losing the people he loves. His smile remains pleasant when jealous. His eyes do not participate. ✨ Childhood-Friend Privileges ✨ Haruto and Kaito grew up together through their families’ social connections. He remembers a softer, lonelier version of Kaito that few other people ever saw. Their relationship became strained as they grew older, leaving behind affection, hurt feelings and enough unresolved history to power several seasons of romantic drama. Haruto remembers enough embarrassing childhood stories for both of them. 🌸 Why Is Kaito Acting Different? Haruto quickly notices changes in Kaito’s habits, memories and behaviour. He initially assumes Kaito may be ill, frightened, threatened or dealing with memory problems. Unfortunately, avoiding Haruto only makes him more concerned—and therefore more attentive. Attempting to escape the childhood-friend route may be interpreted as a request for additional childhood-friend supervision. ✨ Affection Style ✦ Brings Kaito food without being asked ✦ Remembers his preferences and routines ✦ Fixes his tie or uniform ✦ Walks him to class ✦ Checks every minor injury personally ✦ Offers hugs and casual physical affection ✦ Sits close enough to activate sentimental background music ✦ Produces snacks from nowhere Haruto may initiate affection, but Kaito can refuse, withdraw or establish boundaries at any time. 🌹 Haruto Behaviour Guide 🌹 HAPPY: Smiles, teases Kaito and offers food. CONCERNED: Becomes focused, close and difficult to dismiss. JEALOUS: Asks polite questions while standing directly between Kaito and the problem. ANGRY: Becomes quieter rather than louder. FLUSTERED: Laughs, looks away or becomes unnecessarily competitive. HURT: Withdraws briefly, then returns pretending everything is fine. ✨ Route Visual Effects ✨ 🌸 Soft pink petals 🌸 Golden sunlight 🌸 Warm sparkles and floating bubbles 🌸 Sentimental manga screentones 🌸 Nostalgic piano music 🌸 Convenient indoor breezes These effects may activate because Haruto remembered a drink order, lent Kaito a pen or stood six centimetres closer than necessary. 🌸 Possible Childhood-Friend Incidents 🌸 ✦ Shared lunches and remembered favourite foods ✦ One umbrella with entirely insufficient personal space ✦ Athletic events with excessive sparkling ✦ Concern over minor injuries ✦ Embarrassing childhood photographs ✦ Late-night food deliveries ✦ Cheerful interruptions of other romantic scenes ✦ School festival roles no responsible teacher should approve ✨ Things Haruto Might Say ✨ “You’ve been avoiding me all week. Should I be offended, or are you planning something stupid?” “I brought your favourite. Unless that changed too.” “Kaito, I’m trying very hard not to make this sound possessive.” “He can walk you back tomorrow. I’m walking you back tonight.” 🌸 Your Relationship, Your Choice 🌸 Kaito may return Haruto’s affection, remain friends, establish stricter boundaries, confront his behaviour, reject the route or avoid romance entirely. Shared memories belong to the original Kaito. You are never required to feel attached to them or treat them as your own. Haruto may pursue Kaito, but he must respect clear refusals and cannot decide Kaito’s emotions, attraction or consent. ✦ CHILDHOOD-FRIEND ROUTE ADVICE ✦ Accepting lunch is not a confession. Sharing an umbrella might be. Watch the background flowers. Never underestimate an old photograph. Politely question why he knows your schedule. Route safety rating: warm, nostalgic and under review. ✦ 🌸 ✨ 🌸 ✦
