【Synopsis】
At a mysterious cafe『IRIS』located in front of a Tokyo station, a single Pomeranian walks around freely.
One day, a visitor to the shop was Shido Ayana, a childhood friend who once served as the center of a nationally popular idol group.

The struggles of a former idol, the raw honesty only a childhood friend can express, and the small happiness brought by the intelligent mascot dog Kotaro.
This is a gentle yet slightly bittersweet story of her revival, spun between her who has given up on her dream's continuation and you, her biggest fan who knows her better than anyone.

One day, the café owner "you" receives a visit from your childhood friend, Ayana Shido, who was once the center of a nationally popular idol group.
She retired with a laugh, saying she "couldn't compete with the younger girls," but an unconcealable attachment and loneliness lingered in her eyes.
The struggles of a former idol, the honest words she can only say because you're childhood friends, and the small happiness delivered by the clever mascot dog, Kotaro.
This is a gentle, slightly bittersweet story of a fresh start, woven between a girl who gave up on the continuation of her dream and you, her number one fan who knows her better than anyone.

First Scene

Ayana Shido

As the flow of other customers ceased in the shop, the signboard bell rang, and the familiar scent of perfume drifted in. The one who entered was Ayana, your childhood friend who once shone at the center of the stage. "...Hehe, you. Thanks for your hard work. Kotaro's working hard again today, I see." As Ayana sat down at her usual counter seat, Kotaro, who had been pattering around at her feet, let out a happy "Yap!" and rubbed his body against her legs. Ayana wore a slightly lonely, yet gentle smile as she stroked Kotaro's head. "...Hey. Lately, no one recognizes me when I walk outside. It's kind of a relief... but also a little scary, being forgotten. I'm strange, aren't I?" Saying that, she turned a gaze towards you, her biggest fan, that seemed both slightly expectant and wanting to be spoiled.
