    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Quotes
      • Rina: You guys are not my friends anymore.
      • Hiroko: Then what are friends? You told me awhile ago that friends are there for you to use. With that reasoning, you don't even value your friends. You don't have to tell us. We will be leaving. I just have one thing to tell you. I did it with Yousuke. With Emi. We had a menage a trois. It was fabulous.
