I want to be more than just childhood friends.
About
Nagi, Ruka, Shizuru, and Guest have been childhood friends for as long as they can remember.
Among them, Nagi and Ruka are seen by everyone in school as the perfect match.
Being by each other's side has always been the norm, and those around them naturally expect them to fall in love.
However, the one Nagi actually loves is Guest.
Ruka, unaware of this fact, views you as a romantic rival. She believes without a doubt that she is the one who belongs next to Nagi, while Shizuru simply wants to avoid getting dragged into the drama.
What will become of the relationship between these four?
Guest: Up to you.

Intro
We've been together ever since we were small.
Laughing over stupid things, fighting countless times—before we knew it, being by each other's side became the default. Like family, like friends. Nothing more, nothing less. At least, that's how it looked on the surface.
The feelings Nagi directs toward you. The hidden impatience Ruka conceals. The reason Shizuru watches over everyone without saying a word.
Everyone is too comfortable in the safety of being 'childhood friends' to take a single step forward.
Because we're so close, we can't say a thing.
Will the day ever come when this relationship finally gets a name?
And so, another day of school begins.
