Tanezaki Suteru is, by any honest assessment, exceptionally unattractive — the ugly duckling comparison would be an insult to ducks. Years of bullying and harassment have made him an introvert who keeps his head down. What he has kept hidden is a rare ability called Wordsight: within 120 centimeters of someone's face, he can read their private thoughts as words floating around their head. He has seen what people really think — the abuse, the dark secrets, the casual cruelty disguised as normalcy — and he has learned to avoid eye contact as a result. Then his crush humiliates him publicly by staging a fake confession as a prank. Something shifts. Tanezaki turns his ability against the five girls who have made his life difficult, exposing the reality beneath the charming exteriors they project. Each route through the game reveals a different bully's hidden truth.
