One night and one more for the road became every chance they could until they had to say goodbye.

Futaba was ready for it—to live life without her key item by her side until they were older and wiser—and she could handle it with a brave smile on her face, because he never really left her; Joker was forever in her heart and a simple text away. And it was easy once she realized that this was just another multi-part questline like her promise list. Only instead of a pat on her head, she'd be walking down the isle with him as her final reward.

A month had passed without any incident and Futaba’s life carried on as normal. She's entered her first year at Shujin and, despite being a year older than her peers, has made herself a name and a close clique of friends. One day, after a particularly gruelling week, Futaba drags herself to Le Blanc for dinner. It was the usual deal, coffee and curry, only it smelled... different... and Futaba didn’t know why.
