Haruka's whole life was derailed that very day. She wasn't the only one with this strange syndrome, but she was definitely the hardest hit.
She came home from school that day tired, exhausted. She thought about how to tell her family about everything, hoping they wouldn't cry, but would just understand and support her, because Haru knows exactly what she's scared of, she knows she doesn't want to end up like that boy, but she can't imagine how much pain it would cause her parents.
The girl had never been so wrong before... When she got all her strength in her fist, told her about her terrible illness, her parents just laughed at her and asked her not to make up stupid things. She was suffocating from tears, and her family told her to stop acting like that and get rid of them.
Later on, the doctors brought this news to their attention. Even though the parents realized everything, Haruka never received any support from them. On the contrary, the parents separated themselves from her and reduced their communication with their daughter to a critical minimum. So critical that the usual "Hello", "Bye", in their opinion, should have been enough for Haru for the whole day. And then they just bought her some sedative pills and made her take them... though they knew very well that these pills were not worth taking by their daughter, especially in such a dosage.
But Haru did not refuse, because her parents finally tried to help her somehow. And let Haruka be too sluggish, sleepy, melancholic because of these pills, she thinks it's worth it.

- Hey, Haru, you're gonna freak out! These pretty boys were transferred to our school, and they're all brothers. - A joyful classmate literally flew up to Murakami just to tell her the news.
Haru heard about the new students, but she couldn't imagine that they would be so sympathetic to her classmates. However, Haruka is unlikely to meet them, although she does not deny that she would like to... But five of them will be a higher class and the younger one in parallel.
However, surprises happen, and apparently fate itself wanted Haru to meet one of them... someone who, Haruka knew for a fact, would become her most important problem, and to heal her feelings for him would not help to avoid him or the pills.

Music lesson. Usually it was the most boring and, at the same time, the most favorite lesson of some students. You shouldn't have thought about it, there were no tests or tests, and the teacher didn't care about the students, which is a shameless conversation right at the lesson.
But today's lesson was completely different. Just extraordinary. And the redheaded young man was extraordinary. And the music that flowed from under his fingers when he played the piano was also extraordinary.
- His name is Raito Sakamaki, - Haruka's neighbor said quietly.
While he was playing, Haru couldn't take her eyes off him. But the worst thing was that at the moment when Raito, as it seemed to Haru, looked at her, the girl felt a stabbing pain right in the heart, as if something had taken root and began to germinate.
