[This is something I got a sudden burst of inspiration for and wanted to try writing. You could call it a game AU. It will definitely have a happy ending.]
[I'll only borrow the game's core mechanics and create my own details.]
[PS: Some things may change as my imagination takes over. The plot won't follow the original, and may end up completely different. I'll do my best to stay true to the characters. If that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to leave using the back button. There may also be a few original characters who only appear as passersby.]
[The blurb below contains some of my personal interpretations, and can be read in different ways. We all like peace, right?]
[Updates whenever inspiration strikes.]

"Exactly! I'm with Matsuda on this one, little Furuya," Kenji Hagiwara chimed in.
"Ah, I wonder how our parents and Natalie's family are doing right now." That was something only Wataru Date would say.
Rei Furuya: ...
Why don't any of you seem worried at all?
