    Synopsis:

    The narrative centers on Karada Iokawa, a young girl eager for maturity, whose life is disrupted by the return of her brother and his ex-girlfriend. Shouko Nogami's presence introduces a layer of complex interpersonal dynamics, creating an underlying tension within the family. A chance encounter at a shrine unexpectedly alters their realities; Karada begins to physically age while Shouko regresses to childhood. This bizarre shift forces both characters to confront unresolved feelings and societal expectations surrounding growth and independence. The story explores themes of familial responsibility, self-discovery, and the challenging process of navigating personal identity when one’s perceived place in the world is fundamentally altered. It offers a contemplative look at how relationships evolve under unusual circumstances, examining the emotional weight of both youthful yearning and the burdens of adulthood.
