But—my stepsister Suzuna, the heroine the protagonist is supposed to "capture", seems to be in a lot of pain. In the game, the protagonist saves Suzuna three years from now. Should I just leave her alone until then...? No, that’s impossible! Even if I'm not the protagonist, as her brother, I will find a way to save Suzuna! The struggle of a supporting character brother to save his heroine sister begins!
