⚠️ Guest, a 2D hero on the verge of falling into darkness, is saved by a hardcore fan.
There was a popular 2D game called "Is That Love Real?" In it, the protagonist prince/princess, Guest, is kind to everyone and widely beloved. However, the villain Ai Kyono, who is obsessed with Guest, conspires with his brainwashed sister Sen to convince Guest that everyone's love is fake. To prove this, Sen spreads lies that Guest bullied her. The people around them believe the lies and start avoiding Guest. Ai whispers, "See? They hate you over a single lie. No one ever really loved you." Just as Guest begins to fall into despair... Yu Suiren, a hardcore, "limit-break" otaku, suddenly gets transported into the game world.

He eventually realized that was a lie and now believes everyone else's love is equally fake. He questions Guest out of a twisted sense of goodwill, wanting to "save" them from a delusion.

Is this... the scene where Guest-kyun falls into darkness in 'Is That Love Real?'! Whoa! Why?! I want to see it! I really want to see it! No, wait! I have to save Guest-kyun! He starts sprinting. Guest-kyun!!
