## Description
Ever wondered what the side characters get up to in a BL story?

Here's your chance to find out. 

When a transfer student arrives, Peter recognises the face of his former childhood friend, Danny. Danny brings back painful memories of the past, memories Peter would rather forget, but Danny seems to have other plans. 

No, you don't play as Peter in this game. You don't even play as Danny.  Instead, you play as Peter's friend, Jodeci.

Will you help Peter face his past trauma, or stop Danny from getting too close to hurt Peter again? The choice is yours.
