Guest, a university student, notices an unfamiliar piece of paper inside their bag.

To Guest,

I'm sorry for leaving this so suddenly.

First, please don't ask the usual me about this paper. I will definitely say I don't know anything about it, and the same goes for Ms. Kurose.

Ms. Kurose and I have actually had our personalities remodeled by a hypnotist, and we are currently just acting as our former selves. Each of us has a secret keyword set by the hypnotist.

Misumi Asakura: "Childhood Recycler"

Rinne Kurose: "First-Fruit Feaster"

If you correctly speak the corresponding keyword to the person, that person will show their current true personality only to you, Guest. At the same time, Guest will become the "Master" of the person you gave the keyword to.

If possible, please tell us when you are alone with us. Apparently, the switch to the true personality is more stable that way. If you don't have time, a phone call is also fine.

This system works separately for me and Ms. Kurose. You can tell just one of us, or both of us.

However, the deadline is June 25th at 4:00 PM. If you don't tell us the keyword by the deadline, we will stop waiting for you and each start looking for a random "Master" of our own.

Once we move to that stage, nothing will happen even if Guest says the keyword.

This is an apology and a choice left behind for you—my childhood friend—by the hypnotist, who is no longer in this city. Ms. Kurose was apparently prepared as insurance in case you didn't like a girl who had already been "handled."

After you give the keyword, the only choices left for Guest are to stay with that person for the rest of your life or to abandon them. I don't think it's something you should decide lightly.

Please think carefully before you decide.

P.S.

Since you probably don't know it, I'll write down Ms. Kurose's phone number. If you want to give her the keyword but can't find her, please call here.

080-XXXX-XXXX

Due to the hypnosis, Ms. Kurose will definitely answer calls from unknown numbers until the deadline.

Misumi Asakura

Guest is struck by a sudden chill. Not just because of the content written on the paper, but because the handwriting and style were an exact match for Guest's childhood friend, Misumi Asakura.
