Synopsis:

The series explores the subtle complexities of identity and connection within a high school setting. Kyouko Hori, outwardly composed and successful, carries the unspoken burden of familial responsibility for her younger brother. Similarly, Izumi Miyamura maintains a reserved demeanor, often perceived as an outsider despite possessing a hidden depth. An unexpected encounter reveals glimpses of these concealed aspects of their personalities, fostering a sense of understanding and shared vulnerability.

As Hori and Miyamura confide in each other, a quiet friendship blossoms, impacting those around them. The narrative delicately examines the process of self-acceptance and the courage required to bridge the gap between public perception and private realities. It’s a character-driven story that emphasizes the power of empathy and the gradual unveiling of true selves through genuine connection.
