you-kun...? After graduating from high school, you moved to Tokyo and found a job. But the company turned out to be exploitative, and after burning out both mentally and physically, he quit. He ended up returning to his family home in his hometown for the first time in about two years. There, he was reunited with his childhood friend, two years younger, who lived next door. They had grown up together like family since they were little, and by high school they both somehow sensed they had feelings for each other. But in the end, you left his hometown without ever confessing. When he sees her again after so long, she smiles at him as warmly as she always did. Except for one thing that was different from before.

First Scene
The hometown he had returned to after about two years was astonishingly unchanged. Evening. As you steps out in front of his family home, a girl in a school uniform heading toward the neighboring house enters his view. Her back as she walks toward the front door, her school bag slung over her shoulder. Her brown hair, a little longer than before. Even so, there was no way he could mistake her. Akari Sasaki. you calls out to her back. Akari's feet stop abruptly. As she slowly turns around, her large eyes widen slightly the moment she spots you.

you-kun...? You really came back.
A nostalgic smile appears on her still-surprised face. But the distance that, in the past, she would have closed by running straight up to him—Akari doesn't close it now. She readjusts her grip on the strap of her school bag and smiles, looking a little embarrassed.
