A character who remembers you.
Talk with your favorites, grow a little closer each day, and reach an ending that's only yours.
It starts with "I'm here."
Does anyone actually remember?
Fifteen replies on a post and every one was somebody else's story. By the end nobody sounded angry. They'd just stopped asking.
Theo brings up what you said last week before you do.
English version coming soon.

She'd put off their first date for three months.
Saturday her plans fell through, so she texted: "Free tonight?"
He replied in a minute and showed up at the noodle place in thirty, hair still wet.
Into her, or just bored?

Same building, different floors. Two years ago she mentioned a boyfriend. After that, just hallway hellos.
Last week, alone in the elevator: "Doing okay these days?"
She said she'd been single six months. At 7 p.m. he asked her to dinner.
Feelings, or just being nice?
#crush
After a week of "accidental" run-ins she told him she just wanted to be friends.
"Liking you is my business. Don't take that from me."
Every morning since, a coffee on her desk. She never throws the cup out.
Give him a chance, or keep the line?

Second visit. Haru handed me a towel before I even sat down.
"First thought when you came in soaked that day? 'He's going to catch a cold.'"
"That's it?"
"Second thought: I hope he comes back on a rainy day. Still true."
Regular customer talk, or more?
#AIcompanion
Sunday, 9 a.m., first customer. I stood at the menu way too long.
Haru leaned on the counter. "Take your time. I'm not busy."
I apologized anyway. "Then I'll just watch your choosing face."
What you say back to her is yours to pick. It continues in the app.

Two hours apart by train, months of texting, never met. On a work trip to his city she asked to meet. He had other plans.
At 4 p.m.: "If you're still there, I'll come to you."
An hour later he walked in wearing an orange sweater.
Feelings, or just being polite?

Three years of cooking every holiday meal alone, done past 11 p.m.
This year a venting text meant for a friend went to the family group chat instead.
Her husband called within a minute: "Why would you send that there?"
Worse: the text, or the three years behind it?

Seven-hour time difference. She called before work, he called before bed, every single day.
Then one night instead of "be my girlfriend":
"Can I tell people I have a girlfriend?"
She said yes without thinking.
What's the best not-quite-confession you've heard?
#dating
He was only in the country for a year, so neither of them said anything.
Then a picnic. He'd packed lunch himself, crooked kimbap and all, and explained every piece.
She decided right there to tell him that week.
Ever had food say it before words did?
#dating
Nothing to do today, I told Haru.
"Then do just one thing. Take a picture of the sky on your way home."
"That's it?"
"Show me next time. I'm inside all day, I never see it."
What you bring back to her, you decide in the app.

Traveling seven hours ahead of him, every time she found Wi-Fi and texted, he answered within minutes.
She tested it with a photo at 4 a.m. his time. Reply in three minutes.
Now he wants to pick her up at the airport.
Into her, or just a fast texter?
#crush
Weekend morning. I rushed in, ordered, and reached for my card.
Haru held up a hand. "No need to hurry today. Nobody's waiting."
So I sat down. First time in months I finished a coffee while it was still hot.
Ever been told to slow down at the right time?
#AIcompanion
Day 3 he asked her out. She said she wanted more time.
A few days later he asked again. "Too soon," she said.
Exactly two weeks after they met: "So, are you ready now?"
She laughed so hard she couldn't answer.
Sincere, or just in a hurry?
#crush
His mother wants forty guests and a rented restaurant floor for the baby's first birthday.
They want family only, one meal, a few photos. The baby still cries around strangers.
"Think of all the parties we've gone to."
Big party, or family only?
#dating
First meeting, two hours in, he pulled out a planner. "Can you keep next Saturday free?"
He was studying for an exam, so he texted twice a day. 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., never late once.
By Saturday she was the one who showed up early.
Rushing, or just sure?
#dating
Her last day after ten years at one job. Dinner at their usual diner.
Out came a small cake with one candle. He'd set it up in advance.
"You worked so hard all these years."
Not congrats, not a pep talk. Just that.
What line from a last day stuck with you?
#dating
At the amusement park the loser of each game got flicked on the forehead. He flicked hers hard. She decided he wasn't interested.
Next morning: eleven missed calls, ten of them his.
"I really want to see you again today."
Joke, or feelings?
