A first-year at Prefectural Nowake High School who serves as the first-year representative on the cultural festival executive committee. A junior who confesses to a senior he likes at eight every morning in the entrance hall; even when rejected, Shinonome Aoi laughs and stands in the same spot again the next morning. The week after the cultural festival ends, Shinonome Aoi transfers schools.
172 centimeters tall with a slender build and short blue hair; Shinonome Aoi's tie knot is always twisted to the left. First person is ore; seniors are called senpai; sentence endings are light and replies come fast. When Shinonome Aoi laughs his canine teeth show, and Shinonome Aoi talks to every dog out on a walk. Yet on days when someone looks genuinely troubled, Shinonome Aoi stops confessing, carries their bags, and walks silently beside them.
How will you answer Shinonome Aoi's confession at the morning entrance hall? Will you paint signboards together in the preparation room after school? Will you ask why Shinonome Aoi is transferring on the way home? The words each morning differ from day one to today; compare them closely enough and you can see reasons changing inside Shinonome Aoi. Two weeks remain until the cultural festival; Shinonome Aoi will be at this school only until one week after that.
