Storyline

You’ve been brought into the hospital after you supposedly tried to take your own life. Looks like you're going to be okay physically, but you’re suffering from amnesia. You don’t know who you are and you have no idea why you would’ve attempted to take your own life. Doctor Keiko, who’s in charge of you, has performed a special treatment on you. With this, you’ll regain your memories over a period of time - 50% in 1 hour, 95% in 2 hours, and a full recovery after 3 hours. You’re happy to hear this, but Doctor Keiko says that it’s not all smooth sailing. Three girls that claim to be your girlfriend all named “Chirol Saotome” have shown up at the hospital. Obviously, two of them have got to be lying. But if they know you’re going to regain your memories in 3 hours, why would they make up such a story? Confused, you decide to talk to the three Chirols to figure out what’s going on. But just then, you receive a message on your phone… “Don’t trust Chirol Saotome”
