Chapter 1

After the tutorial ends, a short prologue is shown, where the Creator discusses their motivation for starting Project LOV. The player is then taken on a tour that explains the different colleges at OCU.

Liza is introduced after the Tour Guide finishes her explanation of the campus facilities. She is first seen riding her bike towards Smoothie Baron and parking it there, before seeing Donovan meditating on a bench nearby. The player is then given the choice of having Lisa worry enough to help him, or get a phone call from TJ before she could do so.

If the player chooses to help Donovan, she moves closer to him before he collapses from a panic attack. In this situation, she decides to carry him to the nurse's office. There, Donovan begins recovering in bed, and introduces himself to her. He explains to her that he had suffered a panic attack due to a breakup, and was trying to meditate to quell his emotions and anxiety.

Halfway through their conversation, she notices a missed call on her phone from TJ, and remembers an OCU open-mic event she was supposed to attend with him performing. Without mentioning TJ, Liza offers Donovan the chance to accompany him at the event later that night, to which he agrees. She leaves immediately before Donovan could ask her for her phone number.

If the player instead chooses to ignore Donovan, Liza gets a phone call from TJ that distracts her before she even sees Donovan collapsing. TJ reminds her of the open-mic event he's performing at that night.

In both routes, the player is led to the nurse's office, where Donovan wakes up after a long nap to find that he had been out for at least an hour. He begins to trace his steps back to when he was on the bench, and starts experiencing another panic attack remembering the truth behind his previous episode. Donovan did not in fact break up with anybody - instead, he experienced his emotional trauma simply due to a rejection he faced when asking out a friend of his.

He begins calming himself down by recalling his own identity and the time, and plans the rest of his day to try and be more productive. He recalls his friend performing at an OCU open-mic event, and hurries out of the infirmary to catch it.

Chapter 2 then begins.
