Synopsis:

The quiet routine of Rikuo Uozumi's life in Tokyo is subtly disrupted by the arrival of Haru Nonaka, a spirited individual who seeks connection. His world shifts further with the return of Shinako Morinome, a former classmate and someone he holds affection for. Yet, Shinako carries unspoken burdens from her history, creating a barrier to genuine emotional connection. As Rikuo navigates these evolving relationships, he finds himself drawn to Haru's equally hesitant desire for change and self-discovery.

The series explores themes of personal growth and confronting past regrets within a contemporary urban setting. It focuses on the delicate nuances of human interaction and the challenges of forging meaningful relationships when individuals are grappling with internal struggles and uncertain futures. The narrative unfolds with a gentle pace, examining how these characters grapple with vulnerability and the courage required to embrace what lies ahead.
