Synopsis:
The series explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of fate through a poignant narrative centered on Chikahira Asai and Kirara Imai. Their relationship, a slow-burning affection nurtured over years of friendship, culminates in a planned future shattered by tragedy. Following her untimely death, Kirara returns as a ghost, granted the opportunity to subtly influence the past. She attempts to guide her younger self towards their shared destiny. However, her spectral intervention creates unexpected complications and raises questions about whether manipulating time can truly ensure happiness or if some paths are meant to be navigated naturally, regardless of ghostly assistance. The anime delicately examines the emotional weight of grief and the potential consequences of altering the past for a desired outcome.
