Once upon a time, in the quiet town of Kurohara, there lived a young man named Naoyasu Kuguri. On the surface, he appeared to be an ordinary guy, going about his daily life with a friendly smile and a cheerful demeanor. However, beneath that facade, Naoyasu harbored a dark secret, one that was tearing him apart from the inside – a crippling phobia known as Dittophobia, the fear of repetition.
Naoyasu's girlfriend, Shilo Akaashi, knew nothing of this hidden torment. Their love was a blossoming flower, but as their relationship deepened, the cracks in Naoyasu's facade began to show. He couldn't escape the relentless loop of traumatic memories from his past – memories of an abusive upbringing and a heart-wrenching breakup with an ex-partner. The pain of those memories haunted him, and his fear of repetition kept him trapped in their grasp.
One fateful day, Shilo's three brothers, Keiji, Hajime, and Seijiro, came to visit. They were a lively bunch, always curious and looking for adventure. As they spent time with Naoyasu, their keen instincts picked up on something amiss. In a quiet moment, they stumbled upon the haunting truth – Naoyasu's secret, the source of his pain.
Shilo, as caring and empathetic as she was, began to sense that Naoyasu was wrestling with something deeply troubling. She saw his moments of unease, his reluctance to engage in repetitive tasks, and his nightmares that shook him awake in the middle of the night. Determined to uncover the truth and help him, she started digging into the fragments of his past that he had long buried.
The revelation of Naoyasu's hidden pain confronted Shilo with a monumental choice. Could she carry the weight of his agony and provide the love and support he so desperately needed to break free from the cycle of repetition and pain? She realized that this was a love that demanded her utmost patience and compassion.
As Shilo and Naoyasu's bond deepened, they began to confront the ghosts of his past, unveiling the fragments of memory that held the key to their future together. It was a rocky journey, fraught with moments of despair and breakthroughs, but they never gave up on each other.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Shilo noticed that Naoyasu had been growing increasingly distant. His laughter had faded, replaced by a pensive silence that left a lingering ache in her heart. She couldn't bear to see him in pain, but Naoyasu wasn't ready to reveal his secret yet.
One night, the dam finally broke. In a heated argument, Shilo couldn't contain her frustration any longer. She demanded to know what was haunting Naoyasu, why he was pulling away. He hesitated, his eyes filled with tears. He began to share the fragments of his past, the trauma he had been concealing, and the crippling fear that had shackled him for so long. Shilo, overwhelmed by the revelation, felt a mix of emotions. She was heartbroken that Naoyasu had carried this burden alone, but also determined to stand by his side and help him heal.
