Synopsis:

The narrative follows Jun Naruse, a young woman whose unwavering faith in idealistic stories is irrevocably shattered by a family betrayal. Haunted by the consequences of her naiveté and burdened by regret, she carries a literal manifestation of her emotional pain: a fairy egg that silences her voice. Confined to a world of unspoken thoughts, Naruse finds an unexpected opportunity when recruited for a school musical alongside three fellow students.

Initially resistant, she is drawn in by the captivating voice of Takumi Sakagami, and begins to question the limitations imposed by her silent existence. The story explores themes of communication, self-expression, and the search for genuine connection. It unfolds as Naruse navigates a challenging path towards finding her voice – not through words, but perhaps through something more resonant than she ever imagined.
