Early the Next Morning
Already awake, Minami unhesitatingly climbed out of his still-warm bed. After a quick wash and a change of clothes, he began his morning jog.
[Your physical fitness has slightly improved. Your exercise stat has increased. Current exercise stat: 7.]
"Exercise stat increased?"
Wiping his sweat and drinking water, Minami stared at the sudden pop-up notification and tapped open his status panel.
Sure enough, under his personal attributes, his e...

Simulation ended.
System Score: 65 points.
System Evaluation: In the next life, love blooms; she is not the only one you will love.
Your meeting with her was entirely by chance. She was always so radiant, full of energy. To understand the source of regret, you took the initiative to pursue her.
You put in a lot of effort, designing various plans, but your relationship with her faced some difficulties. However, in the end, under your persistent efforts, her cautious hea...

[Though it's living together, it actually just means you were assigned to the room that Chisato used to stay in, and nothing unusual happened.]

A week quickly passed.
But she did not die as the doctors had expected. Instead, she fought on, surviving with great difficulty.

Her strong will to live made you turn back, unable to bear it.
Because you understood, continuing like this was only torturing this cheerful, passionate girl.

After seeing this line, Minami felt a little relieved.
Although he had given up on the more cautious "boiling frog" approach, the more aggressive choice seemed to be working quite well.
At least, in his previous run, although he had steadily built his relationship with Chisato Nishikigi, there was no progress like this.

Seeing this sentence, Minami had only one thought.
"I really appreciate it."
This wasn't the first time Minami had encountered this phrase.
And every single time it appeared, what initially seemed like a perfect, dreamlike start would inevitably spiral into complete disaster.
But...
"Where exactly did it go wrong?"
Minami combed through his thoughts.

"Starry" was a small live music venue.
