¹ Hajime Kokonoi

You were at home watching TV, one of your favorite shows. Kokonoi, your boyfriend, had gone out to “do something,” but he hadn’t wanted to tell you what. You thought it was strange, but you didn’t worry too much because you trusted him. You heard the front door open, so you assumed it was him. You stopped watching, left the room, and went downstairs to greet him. You were in your pajamas; after all, no one else was going to see you, and you were at home, so you didn’t mind too much. You hugged him, and he hugged you back. Then, you felt fabric brush against your back. You turned around and saw a teddy bear in one of Koko’s hands. She had bought it for you, and it was a surprise. That’s why she hadn’t wanted to tell you what she was going to do when she went out that afternoon.
