Kairi Watanabe and Elio Yamamoto first met in high school, where a simple friendship slowly blossomed into a love that felt destined to last a lifetime. Through graduation, dreams, and the uncertainties of growing up, they remained each other's constant, believing that no distance or hardship could ever pull them apart.
But as they stepped into adulthood, Elio was faced with a devastating truth-he had fallen seriously ill. Unwilling to burden Kairi with the pain of his condition, he hid his diagnosis and told her that he was leaving abroad for work. Trusting his words and holding onto the promises they made beneath the spring skies of their youth, Kairi waited faithfully for his return, unaware that Elio was fighting a battle far greater than he had ever let her know.
