Even a Replica Can Fall in Love

When she doesn’t feel well, when there’s a test, when she doesn’t want to go to school…I take her place. I’m Sunao Aikawa’s replica, and I exist solely for her sake. Or, at least, that’s how it was until he came into my life. Now, I wear my hair up so he can tell us apart, and we make promises for a tomorrow I may not have. Everything about me might be borrowed—but my heart is mine alone.

When they don’t feel well, when there’s a test, when they don’t want to go to school…we take their places. Aki and I are replicas. Now that the cat is out of the bag and he knows I’m Sunao’s replica and I know he’s Sanada’s replica, we’ve been getting closer than ever. Everything was going swimmingly…or so I thought. It seems Sanada is out for revenge for his injuries, and he wants his replica to be the one to get his hands dirty. Is this what Aki meant when he said his days were numbered?
