I had this done already and I decided "fuck it" and released it. I was going to wait a bit longer but here it is. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Tomoya's Narration: One spring day, I came face to face with my destiny and recalled a dream I've had since long ago: To create a dating sim that touches the hearts of people and makes them laugh. And to create a main heroine that would make everyone's heart sing! Yes, just as that girl did! The response this dream and I received from those around me was harsh at first.  However, by sharing my dream with them without giving up, my comrades have returned to me, one by one! And now, after experiencing a dramatic reunion with that girl, I have taken the first steps toward realizing that grand dream!

From behind, inside the AV room, Eriri had slapped Tomoya's head, causing him to stop his monologue.

Eriri: Don't just slip big lies into the previous episode recap!

Tomoya: And you, don't blow off anime tropes by having a character interrupt the narration!

Outside the area Tomoya and Eriri were in, Y/N and Utaha were simply sitting at tables, watching the scene go out about through the window.

Y/N: ...I have to wonder though.

Utaha: Hmm?

Y/N: When the hell did he get in there?

(A/N): Cue the opening! Don't own it.

Timeskip

After school, Tomoya, who dragged Y/N with him, had taken the girl they saw that one spring day, Megumi Kato, to a local diner.

Currently, they were sitting in a booth by a window, Y/N resting his head on his hand while thumping his pencil against his mouth as he thought of what to write for his upcoming book. Tomoya sat across Megumi, arms crossed as the girl held a menu in her hands.

Tomoya: You know, Kato...

Megumi: Hmm, yes?

Tomoya: I haven't really noticed it until now, but you're actually pretty cute.

Y/N: ...You say that about almost every 2D girl.

Megumi: Thank you. But what you hadn't noticed wasn't that I'm cute, but rather that I even exist. Well, both of you.

Y/N: Sorry. I've been on tight schedules that I only have time to focus on a few things because SOMEONE keeps disrupting my time.

Tomoya: Eh? (looks to Kato) I guess.

Y/N: Now that I think about it, you're in our class, right?

Megumi: Mm-hm.

Y/N: Hmm, you've been in the same class as us since first year. Don't know how the hell I didn't notice you yet.

Waitress: Thank you for waiting!

As Tomoya was processing thoughts through his head, both Kato and Y/N were ordering food.

Megumi: The layered cheese cake, please.

Y/N: Oh, me too.

Waitress: Coming right up.

As the waitress leaves, Tomoya begins to asses Kato's features.

Tomoya: (thoughts) She's got classic features. She's neither too tall, nor too short. Her skin is reasonably smooth. She curves out where she's supposed to curve out. And curves in where she's supposed to curve in as well. It's only natural to think she's cute. After all, I felt the hand of fate at work with this girl.
