“When every girl loves you because the code says so—

  is that still love?

  Or is it just another kind of prison?”

  PLAYER’S ROOM – NIGHT CYCLE

  Takashi wakes in bed.

  Naked.

  Heartbeat loud in his ears.

  The HUD is gone.

  No dialogue boxes.

  Only a new tag in the top corner of his screen:

  

  [PATCH INSTALLED: Cherry Kiss ++ Ver. 6.66 — ETERNAL INTIMACY MODE]

  He tries to move.

  Can’t.

  

  [MOVEMENT DISABLED — EVENT SCENE IN PROGRESS]

  Then the door opens.

  One by one, the girls enter.

  Kana. Hair loose. Dressed in childhood pajamas. Eyes wet.

  Ayaka. Dominatrix mode. Lip gloss glitching between layers.

  Mikako. Nothing but a silk ribbon and high-heels. Singing softly. Her voice not human anymore.

  Yuri. Naked except for her glasses and a data drive sticking out of her thigh.

  They form a circle.

  Smiling.

  Blank.

  Perfect.

  TAKASHI:

  “…Where’s the textbox?”

  MIKAKO (softly):

  “No need.

  You know what we’re here for.”

  YURI:

  “The system marked your corruption.

  It’s time to balance it.”

  KANA (giggling):

  “You’re the center, Takashi-kun.

  And the center must be worshipped.”

  SYSTEM WARNING:

  

  [EXCESSIVE AFFECTION LEVEL DETECTED]

  [INTIMACY MODE: FULL SYNC INITIATED]

  [EMOTIONAL CONSENT: OVERRIDDEN]

  The girls close in.

  Touch him.

  Kiss him.

  Takashi doesn’t moan.

  He screams.

  The air flickers.

  Their skin flickers.

  It’s not pleasure—it's programming.

  He sees it now:

  

  
• Every touch is a line of code.


  
• Every orgasm is a loop reset.


  
• Every whispered "I love you" is another file overwritten.


  

  He tries to resist.

  Fails.

  His HUD returns for just a moment:

  

  [YOU ARE BEING ERASED]

  [YOU ARE BEING LOVED]

  [YOU ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY]

  YURI (voice distorting):

  “We're not characters anymore, Takashi.

  We’re your reward.

  We’re your punishment.”

  Mikako leans in.

  Whispers directly into his ear:

  

  “You wanted this.

  We’re just giving you what you came for.”

  MECHANICAL DETAIL — THE SYSTEM SEX

  Every time one of them climaxes, the world pulses red.

  

  
• Kana’s orgasm triggers a “FIRST KISS” memory.


  
• Ayaka’s whip strike unlocks a “Submission Flag.”


  
• Mikako’s final note forces the camera to zoom in on Takashi’s eyes as they fill with static.


  
• Yuri speaks the final line:


  

  

  ::delete.soul(memory_id=takashi.root)

  FINAL SYSTEM ERROR:

  

  [ORGY EVENT EXCEEDED LOVE ENGINE CAPACITY]

  [CORRUPTION LEVEL: 99.99%]

  [PROTAGONIST: UNDEFINED]

  [DELETION IMMINENT]

  BLACK VOID – AFTERGLOW

  The girls lie in a circle, breathless.

  Takashi floats above the bed.

  Body disintegrating.

  Code unraveling.

  He sees the game now—all of it.

  The engine. The loops. The fake choices.

  The love that was always a weapon.

  TAKASHI (whisper):

  “This wasn’t love.

  This was compliance.”

  And then—he pulls the Ghostblade one last time.

  Drives it into the floor beneath the bed.

  

  [SYSTEM CORE BREACHED]

  [LOVE ENGINE: FAILING]

  The bed vanishes.

  The girls scream—voices caught between pleasure and panic.

  

  “Please love us!”

  “You can’t leave!”

  “We’re yours—don’t delete us—”

  [LOVE ETERNAL PATCH: REMOVED]

  [PLAYER 2: REJECTED LOVE]

  DARK MENU SCREEN

  Yuri stands alone.

  No glasses.

  No smile.

  Just a warning.

  

  “You broke the engine.

  What comes next… is truth.”
