    Confined to a hospital following a bout of hepatitis A, the disgruntled Yuuichi finds his days punctuated by clandestine escapes and disciplinary reprimands. His routine shifts when he encounters Rika, a strikingly beautiful but emotionally volatile fellow patient. Despite her demanding nature, an unlikely connection forms between them as they navigate the familiar anxieties and small triumphs of adolescence. Their burgeoning relationship unfolds against a backdrop of quiet desperation, shadowed by the knowledge of Rika’s limited time. The series explores themes of fleeting connection, coping with mortality, and the complexities of love found in unexpected circumstances, offering a poignant look at the fragility of life and the bonds forged in its face.
