    Synopsis:

    Naho Takamiya's routine high school life is disrupted by a cryptic message from her older self, delivered across a decade. This unexpected communication reveals a future marred by regret, urging Naho to alter past events. The letter specifically highlights Kakeru Naruse, a new transfer student whose presence is conspicuously absent from Naho’s future.

    Armed with this foreknowledge, Naho navigates the complexities of her sophomore year, striving to understand and influence her interactions with Kakeru. The series explores themes of destiny versus free will as Naho grapples with the responsibility of preventing a painful future, all while contending with the unsettling implications of altering time itself. It offers a thoughtful examination of personal choices and the enduring weight of consequence within an everyday high school setting.
