The story centers on Hiroki and Meiko. Hiroki found himself grappling with a possessiveness he never consciously acknowledged, and it ended up wounding Meiko deeply. The distance between them grew, and the once-easy bond they shared began to fray.
Then came the moment that stopped him cold: he spotted Meiko walking home alongside a male classmate, laughing in that familiar way. The sight hit him like a punch to the gut. Blaming himself, Hiroki had nearly given up, half-convinced he’d already lost her. But resignation wasn’t enough to quiet the ache inside. Unable to let go, he made a decision: he would chase after her at the summer festival.
Will he reach her in time? Can he mend what his own carelessness broke? Dear readers, this is a story of regret, longing, and the desperate hope that some bonds are worth fighting for. Stay tuned—this one’s going to hurt in the best way.
