1. (Shy/Anxious/Honest) “This is so sudden… a-and I’m sorry… but… I’ve always liked you! I just didn’t know how to tell you…”
2. (Nervous, but frustrated) “But the thought of confessing makes me really nervous. My heart starts beating so hard and I can’t say the words that are in my head… It’s because I grew up with him! *Sigh* I need a few more practice rounds to actually get it right.”
3. (Bursting with excitement) “Yeah! I’m going to the HoneyWorks concert with Koyuki! I’ve wanted to go since it was announced and I finally got a ticket! I got all dressed up and everything!”

Akari Hayasaka [60 Lines] Teenage Female Akari is seen as beautiful and gentle with a positive outlook. She naturally takes on the motherly personality over her friends and is always ready to comfort them. She does not understand what love means or feels like.
1. (Defeated) “*Sigh* I just wish there were textbooks and reference books for relationships… It’s all so complicated and I’m so unsure…”
2. (Unsure/Nervous) “Making a bento every day would be a bit of a pain, so I’d rather not… Oh, I know! A new cake shop has opened near the station. Would you like to go with me sometime?”
3. (Disappointed, but hopeful) “I see… You went for it, but changed your mind at the last minute. It’s okay though, Natsuki! Let’s just rethink your confession strategy! What should you do now?”

Miou Aida [40 Lines] Teenage Female Miou is very shy and passive. She’s very enclosed in her shell and doesn’t put forward the efforts to make any overtly affectionate gestures towards the boy she likes.
1. (Calm/Collected/Maybe a hint of disappointment) “Haruki and I? We’re the same as we’ve always been. It’s just… normal… But, what about you, Akari?”
2. (Upset, but holding it together) “*Sigh* How do I know if we’re dating or not? I feel like we could be, but he’s holding something back… Do I need to be the one to confess?”
3. (Mildly confused) “Is a confession something you really need to rehearse? I’ve really never heard of anyone doing that before. It should come naturally to you.”

Yuu Setoguchi [106 Lines] Teenage Male Yuu is a very calm, cool, and collected guy. He’s light spoken, and rarely raises his voice, but is able to when the situation calls for it. He is more energetic around his friends, but never truly puts his emotions out there for others to see.
1. (Slightly annoyed) “What’re you doing in my room? You didn’t tell me you were going to be coming today. Are you sure it’s okay to be in a guy’s room this late?”
2. (Calm, but seething with rage) “Ayase, don’t you know you shouldn’t behave like that in public? This is a public place where our neighbors pass by. It would cause a lot of trouble for Natsuki if she was seen like that. So, if you’re going to pretend to be her boyfriend, at least be more considerate of her.”
3. (Saddened) “I’ll go along with it until she confesses for real. Then I’ll be supportive like I promised. I’m not going to tell her. I already know she likes someone else. I don’t need to start any trouble.”

Souta Mochizuki [115 Lines] Teenage Male Souta is a relatively nice person. He has been possessive and insecure though which causes him internal distress over his feelings about his crush. He is heavily conflicted between his own thoughts regarding wanting to be with his crush and wanting her to be happy.
1. (Mentally preparing) “I just have to say it out loud. Just say, good morning, Akari!- Ah! She really looks like an angel today!”
2. (Over Exaggerated Frustration) “Her type’s whoever she falls for… She couldn’t be more vague if she tried! But who does she like?! Whoever it is, I just need him to be into someone else! AHHH! That’s not what I want either though! She deserves to be happy!”
3. (Sad/quiet) “But even though I don’t have the guts to tell her how I feel, I still think about her and don’t know what to do. I get so jealous so easily. I really don’t like myself for it.”

Koyuki Ayase [49 Lines] Teenage Male Koyuki is very insecure and has a poor self image. He used to be picked on for having feminine looks, but recently changed his style to look more masculine. His confidence increases slightly as he makes changes in his life, but he still retains some of the insecurity.
1. (Determined) “Instead of doing nothing and regretting it, I decided it’s better to do all I can and then regret it. I know I have a 0% chance of succeeding, but just sitting around and doing nothing would be too frustrating.”
2. (A little nervous, but excited) “Hey, Enomoto! Honeyworks is holding a concert soon and the tickets are sold out. But! I managed to get two tickets. I was wondering if you wanted to go together?”
3. (Relaxed) “Huh? Oh yeah, I’m a member of the gardening club. I’ve been taking care of these flowers all year. They’ve really bloomed! … Y’know, you’re welcome to come to the gardening club if you’d like. I’ll be planting more soon, so feel free to come take a look!”

1. (Apologetic) “Hm? Oh, sorry. I’ve got to talk to Saku about something, so could you go home without me today? I promise I’ll walk you home tomorrow!”
2. (Slightly miffed) “Y’know, if you don’t like it, you can just say so. The love confession rehearsals. It’ll be too late for regrets once she’s done it for real. If you like her, you should be honest with yourself.”

1. (Calm) “It’s an old saying. “Repentance comes too late” and “the biggest fish is always the one that got away.” That’s my advice. Do your best and enjoy your youth. Have that lollipop and tell her you like her.”
2. (Calm) “You’re still young. School years just fly by. There’s no way to rewind or undo, so if you have something to say you need to say it. Stop wasting the time you already don’t have and letting these opportunities pass you by. You’ll regret it once you’ve grown up.”
