Set in the late 1990s, this is a story about friendship, growing up, and the quiet moments that stay with you long after they've passed.
When Misaki arrives late on the first day of school, she doesn't expect much from the year ahead. until she's seated next to Kai, a quiet, distant boy who keeps to himself. Alongside her best friend Lina and Kai's childhood friend Haru, the four of them slowly form an unlikely bond that turns ordinary days into something unforgettable.
From after-school snack runs and late-night study sessions to summer beach trips and festivals under the fireworks, their world becomes filled with laughter, chaos, and moments that feel like they'll last forever.
But as time moves forward and their final year approaches, feelings that were never meant to be complicated begin to surface. Between unspoken words, fleeting glances, and memories captured in silence, Misaki and Kai are forced to confront what they mean to each other-before the moments they share become nothing more than memories.
A slow-burn story about the people who change us, the time we can't hold onto, and the quiet kind of love that's felt in everything left unsaid.
