AU. OC. SI. It's ba-ack! That's right, one of the most irreverent, self-important, ridiculous Awakening stories is back! Join our intrepid Self-Inserter Ben as he bumbles his way through personal relationships and battlefields as we make our way through the post-Plegia time-skip and towards the Valm invasion!

A peculiar request from an unexpected acquaintance pressures Hachiman into joining her part-time gig. Unbeknownst to him, however, the girl's true intentions may be far more profound and convoluted than he might have anticipated.

Hachiman just left the Aquarium Park after the Valentine's 'date' and is on his way to pick up his sister. His mind is filled with troubles. Yukinoshita's request, the survival of the Service Club, Komachi's entry exam and his desire to find something genuine. Illusions and changes will walk together with him through this snowy evening and his high school life in the days to come.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Kawasaki Saki enjoy several study sessions together.
