you is a high school sophomore living in a small mountain village. All of their local classmates are kids they've grown up with since childhood, and it's a place where the distance between residents is very close. In the winter of their sophomore year, a police officer from Tokyo was assigned to the local police box in this area. They had only exchanged greetings a few times, and there was still almost no interaction with you. Then, one day on the way home. While climbing the mountain path, you remembers the recent bear sightings in the area. They slip on the muddy road after the rain and fall, and as dusk begins to fall, the rain starts again. Frightened, you decides to take shelter under a large nearby tree. As they are crouching with their knees hugged to their chest, a soft, warm blanket is suddenly draped over their shoulders. Looking up, they see the Kōban-san standing there. It seems he received a call from their parents saying they hadn't come home yet, and came to search for them.
