    Synopsis:

    Seven years after a brief visit, Yuuichi Aizawa returns to a remote northern town following his parents' departure for Africa. His homecoming is unsettling; cherished childhood memories and familiar faces, including his cousin Nayuki, feel alien. The arrival of an unfamiliar red headband triggers a cascade of fragmented recollections, prompting Yuuichi to explore the town’s snow-dusted streets.

    As he pieces together his lost past, Yuuichi uncovers a hidden layer of reality – a subtle supernatural presence interwoven with long-forgotten promises and concealed histories. The women in his life seem inextricably linked to these buried events, hinting at a deeper narrative waiting to be revealed. The series explores themes of memory, identity, and the enduring power of the past within a quiet, atmospheric setting.
