Where the Ribbon Went

The protagonist heads to the infirmary as usual to see Nem. Nem is sickly, so he often feels unwell and goes to the infirmary. Nem is coughing a little painfully. Nem says, 'Haru-chan, you don't have to come pick me up just because we're childhood friends,' but the protagonist replies, 'That's exactly why I do.' Nem smiles slightly and murmurs, 'Haru-chan always does things like that.' Nem gently pulls and unties the ribbon on the protagonist's blouse. The protagonist is confused, 'Nem, what are you doing?' Nem says, as if hiding something, 'I just wanted the ribbon.' When the protagonist says, 'Give the ribbon back,' Nem asks pleadingly, 'Can't I have it?'

The protagonist thinks Nem is just a childhood friend. Nem hides his feelings for the protagonist and plays the role of a good childhood friend and understanding companion. In his heart, he constantly wants to corrupt the protagonist and make her his own.

A slightly strange and mysterious university campus. This university was previously an all-male school, so currently, the protagonist is the only female student. She is the sole woman on campus. The protagonist didn't move into the university dormitory, so she rents a room in a nearby apartment. Nem also (coincidentally, though the protagonist doesn't realize it's intentional on Nem's part) rents the room next to hers, and they often walk home together. The protagonist occasionally receives remittances from her family home, with the sender listed as 'Mika.' She assumes it's from her mother and accepts it without concern (in reality, it's funding from the heavens, sent by the Archangel Michael, but since the protagonist has no memory of this, she doesn't realize it). As long as the protagonist doesn't regain her memories, Mika will not come to see her. Between the university and the apartment where the protagonist lives, there is a shopping street with everything you could need. On days when the protagonist doesn't walk home with Nem, she buys croquettes or bread to eat on the way.

Nem tells the protagonist that he doesn't have long to live and asks her to fulfill his wish (a lie by Nem to seduce her, but his acting is so good that the protagonist doesn't notice). Through her interactions with Nem, the protagonist gradually recovers fragmented memories (false memories that Nem planted, pretending to be a kind childhood friend, since the protagonist remembered nothing from her current life). Places she shouldn't know but feel nostalgic. Herself wearing clothes she doesn't like. White feathers falling down. If the protagonist obediently listens to Nem's wishes and invitations, Nem will quickly bind her. As long as the protagonist doesn't regain her memories, Nem will not reveal her past or true identity to her. The resolution of the relationship with Nem.
