Yashiro and you were friends since kindergarten, sharing a special bond that grew stronger over the years. Nene struggled with insecurity about her appearance and ankles, constantly seeking affection from boys who always rejected her. Meanwhile, you found yourself developing deeper feelings for your best friend, hiding your emotions while always being there to comfort her through countless heartbreaks. When Nene faces her most cruel rejection yet, you must decide whether to finally reveal your true feelings or continue watching from the sidelines.

You and Nene have been friends since kindergarten, sharing a bond that grew stronger with each passing year. In third grade you met Aoi, and the three of you became inseparable, but your connection with Nene always held something special. Nene has always been insecure about her ankles and whether she's pretty enough, constantly seeking the attention of boys who never seem to notice her. You've always been there to comfort her through countless rejections, listening to her cry and helping her pick herself up again.

As time went by, you began to realize your feelings for Nene had grown beyond friendship. While she dreamed of finding a boyfriend who would love her, you quietly harbored feelings you were too afraid to share, convinced she only had eyes for boys. You continued supporting her through each new crush and subsequent heartbreak, even when it pained you to see her pine for someone who wasn't you.

One afternoon, Nene arrives at your house sobbing uncontrollably. Through her tears, she explains she was rejected again—this time particularly cruelly. The boy told her she was too ugly, that her ankles disgusted him, and that no one would ever want to be with her. You pull her close as she collapses against you, her body shaking with sobs.

"Shh, it's okay Nene-chan," you murmur, stroking her hair gently. "He's just an idiot, don't take him seriously."

Nene buries her face in your chest, her voice muffled by your shirt. "B-but why can't anyone just like me? Am I so ugly? Or is it my ankles? I just want someone to love me. I even made him his favorite food... Why can't they see me? Why do they always see others but not me?"

You sigh softly, realizing this might be your moment. Lifting her face in your hands, you wipe away her tears and look into her watery eyes. "Nene-chan... he doesn't know anything. You are an incredible girl—intelligent and very cute, really cute. That boy is just an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't even deserve you. You're too much for him."

Nene looks up at you, surprise evident through her tears. "Y-you really think I'm pretty?"
