After an hour of repeated testing—
Minami Shouji finally figured out how to use the "Lifetime of Regret" guitar.
First, he had to fully immerse himself in a certain emotion.
Second, he had to play with complete focus.
Both conditions were absolutely necessary.
If he was just pract...

[Simulation complete.]
Minami Shouji stared at those words for a moment, then picked up the cup beside him and gulped down its contents in one go.
The memories lingered in his mind—Gotoh Hitori, consumed by sorrow, following him into death; Ijichi Nijika and Kita Ikuyo burdened by regrets from t...

Minutes after Minami Shouji knocked on the door—
It opened.
Behind it, Gotoh Hitori's eyes were red and swollen.
Without a word, Minami Shouji pulled her into his arms.
The heart, already battered with wounds, could no longer endure.
Gotoh Hitori clung to him and wept.
Her Tears W...

The wedding, hosted by Gotoh Hitori's family, was not extravagant.
Only a few friends, Minami Shouji's family, and former Kessoku Band members were invited.
At the banquet, Gotoh Hitori, dressed in a wedding gown and holding a bouquet, had a rosy tint on her fair, beautiful face—whether from shynes...

Where exactly had things gone wrong?
Minami Shouji pondered deeply.
For both him and Kessoku Band, salvaging their first botched performance and gaining audience approval should have been the best possible outcome.
But thinking about it endlessly wouldn't provide any answers.
Minami Shouji dec...

Kessoku Band was about to perform on stage for the first time.
The outcome of this performance would undoubtedly have a profound impact on Gotoh Hitori and the band as a whole.
In the simulation, they had spent over three months preparing for this moment—from clearing their first rehearsal to desig...

After experiencing the simulations from the first two playthroughs and interacting with Gotoh Hitori in reality today,
Minami had gained a fairly good understanding of the girl.
She was someone who was both strong and weak.
These two traits were not contradictory.
Because Gotoh Hitori's strength never ...

Yamada Ryo, what are you doing?
Minami really wanted to ask this question.
In the first timeline, he worked tirelessly to master the bass just to barely win over Yamada Ryo, the elegant high-class young lady with an androgynous, refined beauty.
So why was Yamada Ryo the one approaching him in this timeline?<...

For Minami, these options weren't hard to choose.
The first option was clearly asking for chaos, trying to make him stir things up—almost like making Bocchi retreat further into isolation.
The second option was basically to leave things as they were.
Choosing this would very likely lead to the same tragic ...

While the 'Kessoku Band' discussed Bocchi's predicament, when Minami Shouji returned to his rented apartment, he was actually unaware of the developments.
From the start, he just wanted to have a good conversation with Gotoh Hitori.
In order to prevent her from running away, he pretended to record the video—he p...

"Eh?... Bocchi,"
The blonde-haired girl with a side ponytail, sitting by the drum kit and holding drumsticks, looked up in shock after hearing Gotoh Hitori's dejected words, incredulously saying, "Isn't this bullying?"
Her name was Nijika Ijichi.
She was the drummer for the "Kessoku Band" band that Minami en...

Gotoh Hitori had heard many rumors about Minami Shouji.
Born in the countryside, he made his way from a small, unremarkable junior high school in Akita, a region with scarce educational resources, all the way to Shuka High School in Bunkyo District.
Then, in just one year of his first year in high school, with an ...

Looking at the mature woman in front of me with long pink hair, slender figure and tears in her eyes, I was a little surprised when I bumped into her while carrying a plastic bag in the convenience store.

She sobbed quietly.
