Synopsis:

The story unfolds amidst the familiar backdrop of high school life, centered on the blossoming relationship between Haruka Suzumiya and Takayuki Narumi. Their idyllic world, nurtured by supportive friendships with Mitsuki Hayase and Shinji Taira, is irrevocably altered by unforeseen circumstances. A devastating event leaves one friend in a prolonged state of unconsciousness, creating a palpable rift within the group. Years later, the unexpected return of this individual throws the established dynamic into disarray.

The narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of shared history. As the friends navigate the aftermath of trauma and grapple with the changed realities of their relationships, the series examines how past events continue to shape the present and the enduring power – and fragility – of human connection. It offers a thoughtful examination of interpersonal dynamics under duress.
