Synopsis:

Yuichi Aizawa returns to a city he hasn't seen in seven years, a place shrouded in the quiet atmosphere of winter. His arrival is marked by a peculiar absence – his memories of his childhood visits are lost to him. He finds himself drawn to a group of young girls, each subtly linked to a forgotten chapter of his past. As Yuuichi navigates these burgeoning friendships, fragments of his lost history begin to surface, weaving themselves into the present. The series explores themes of memory, connection, and the gradual rediscovery of identity within a close-knit community, all set against a backdrop of understated emotional depth and subtle mystery. It's a story of gentle unraveling, where the past isn't simply remembered, but re-experienced through the bonds of present relationships.
