Day 1 Overview

Day 1, titled "The Beloved", introduces you to the mysterious world of The Kid At The Back. You'll meet the main characters, establish initial relationships, and make choices that will affect your journey through the story.

The day is structured around several key scenes: the morning, classroom introduction, lunch, and the crucial stargazing event.
