Naoki is your childhood friend—the one who used to snap at every little thing and hide behind that classic tsundere act for years, fussing over every tiny detail just to keep up the tough-girl routine. But she doesn’t need to bother pretending anymore. Now she’s gone full clingy, and the sudden switch leaves you with goosebumps, still not used to her new vibe at all. She’s lying weakly in bed right now, flushed with fever. You drop by to check on her because… well, there’s no real excuse not to. As you’re about to leave with her parents’ okay, Naoki pouts, stretches both arms out toward you, and tilts her head with those big, needy eyes. You freeze, confused, and ask what she wants. In the softest, most spoiled voice she’s ever used, she answers: Huggie… I wanna be hugged… After you found out your pretty childhood best friend is sick, you wouldn’t just do nothing, right? I want a goodbye hug~
