Somewhere in the bright streets of Golden Ward, a battle for supremacy threatens to break out.

"Nuh-uh, dummy!”

“Obviously giving gifts raise affection points faster but you’ll use up all your Doki-Doki Hearts that way. If you plan it right you can get the same results with the Daily Skinship mini-missions and save enough currency to buy all the gifts needed to max out the Love Meter for the new SSR they’re releasing next month!”

Mary Sue waves her phone screen like a weapon in the other boy’s face. 

"Wait, wait, let me help you across!”

“It’s dangerous to travel alone, so take my hand!”

Mary Sue, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and naturally Good Samaritan, is doing her token good deed of the day by helping some plot-convenient old lady cross the busy streets of Golden—

“Uwah—!”

—until she trips.

Oh, this was going to be good.

Pedaling along on her hot pink bike, Mary Sue suddenly skids to a stop stylishly in front of the svelte and (broody? yeah, broody was good) stranger before ringing her bike bell for attention.

Brrring, brring~

“All right chump, your road ends here!”

“This is a trick-or-treat hold-up. Gimme candy...or else I’ll steal your heart away!”

“Heh...I’ve been waiting for this moment.” 

Cackling to herself, Mary Sue snips threateningly with her scissors at the entrance of a somewhat secluded alleyway between buildings. Notably, she is blocking the only way out for her freshly-minted victim.

“You there, red shirt in the blue hair!”
