Synopsis:

The arrival of Mizuki Tateno disrupts the quiet winter landscape surrounding Junsho Fujioka, a university student. Mizuki’s guarded demeanor and pronounced aversion to the holiday season immediately create an atmosphere of unsettling curiosity. Her solitary life within a spacious home hints at a hidden history, one that begins to unravel following a mysterious event in the days after Christmas. The narrative explores themes of isolation, fractured family dynamics, and the lingering impact of past trauma. As Junsho navigates his connection with Mizuki, he becomes drawn into the complexities of her personal story, uncovering the reasons behind her bitterness and the circumstances that shaped her perspective on the world. The series unfolds with a measured pace, focusing on character interaction and psychological nuance rather than grand spectacle.
