Prologue
On May 7, 2026, Kirigaya Kazuto and Yuuki Asuna were spending their lunch break in a difficult-to-reach green zone their school's campus. With his girlfriend sleeping on his lap, the boy gently caressed her hair as he contemplated on how the sensation of hair, among other things, was handled in games. Having suddenly awoken in the midst of his musings and discovered where she was lying, Asuna attempted to rise to her feet due to feeling embarrassed. However, she was stopped by Kazuto, who urged her to sleep a little longer, arguing that they still had twenty minutes of their break left, while Doctor Kurahashi had stated that sleep would accelerate her recovery from the memory scan conducted on her. Despite showing some resistance, the girl once again lay her head on Kazuto's lap, before returning to sleep.

Part 1
Having reminisced the recent events, Kazuto concluded that, despite the unlikeliness of meeting Nochizawa Eiji or YUNA again, a feeling of anxiety still remained inside him.
