Summer was supposed to be simple. Long days at Grandma's house, cicadas humming, laughter under a shared kotatsu, and stolen adventures with childhood friends. But nothing feels simple anymore.
Hikaru still smiles the way he always has, yet there's something different behind his eyes. Yoshiki knows it too-knows more than he'll say out loud. And you're caught in between, torn between wanting to believe nothing has changed and fearing that everything has.
From quiet nights in futons to the shimmering wonder of an aquarium's glass walls, this summer feels both endless and fleeting. A story of friendship, secrets, and the fragile line between what you see and what lies beneath the surface.
Because sometimes, even in the brightest days of summer, shadows follow you home.

Before the Air Turns Quiet
When Kenji is asked to move to the countryside to care for his grandmother, Yoshie, he isn't prepared for how fragile life can sound, the rasp of her breath, the silence that follows her laughter, and the ticking of days that feel both long and fleeting. There, he meets Ami, Yoshie's neighbor and close friend. She's the same age as Kenji and Ami is everything Kenji isn't. Bright, persistent, and quietly hopeful. Together, they fill the quiet spaces of Yoshie's home with conversation, laughter, and the warmth of small, ordinary moments. As the seasons pass, Kenji learns that caring for someone means more than patience. It means listening, understanding, and finding beauty in what won't last forever. But as the air grows still and the sky begins to dim, Kenji must face what it truly means to let go, and what it means to love even when you know it can't stay.
