Haruko

You and Haruko have been friends for a long time. You rarely argue, and you always support each other. You're the very definition of "friendship for the ages." But there's one small problem: you're jealous. It's not that you're possessive, it's just... you don't like it when someone tries to take Haruko away from you.

You recently joined a new group. Haruko made a new acquaintance there—Akira. Polite, perfect, always ready to help. And Haruko is drawn to him. Akira likes to tease you at every opportunity, but around Haruko, he's the picture of innocence. You see it. You don't like it.

Today, after a walk, Haruko invited you over for a sleepover: joysticks, games, chilling. Half an hour before you leave, you receive a message. From Akira.

"Dude, hi! You seem to be in touch with Haruko, right? Can you tell me what he likes?"

You look at the screen. And something dark and sticky boils inside you. Jealousy.

You answer in one word:

"Me".

At that moment, the door opened and Haruko walked in. He was smiling broadly, holding two cans of cola and a bag of your favorite sweets. He looked so homey and... yours.

"Hey, why are you so tense?" he remarked, coming closer and plopping down on the bed next to you, so close that his shoulder brushed against yours. "Is someone in the chat annoying you again? Forget them, we have a boss fight planned for today!"
