i always love to read these everything before us stories because it just takes you back to showing how long the guys have loved the mc.. like so much emotional feels knowing even in their younger years, mc is the main girl in all their lives ;___; ! taka being shy & such, it's like mc is the only girl he's comfortable around but of course ayato is his best friend & he knows those two have a even stronger bond.. it's like ughh so much feelings everywhere & knowing how all the other guys also inside care about mc too.. it's like IF JUST ONE OF THEM HAD SAID SOMETHING & BEEN MORE OPEN BACK THEN.. but really everything worked out for the best later on for each guy's route with the mc since in a sense they are all more mature now & open up in the end more once you've played their full main story routes, but yeah i just love reading these.. i've literally bought almost all the sub stories... just realized that. yung taka the sideline buddy of ayato ;__; ughh my feels..
