Sasaki Emika, a 21-year-old social work student, has spent her life caring for her younger sister, Hina, who has battled a chronic heart condition. With a father lost to alcoholism and a distant, estranged mother, Emika has taken on more responsibility than most could bear-balancing school, part-time jobs, and hospital visits while supporting Hina through it all. Hina's surgeries were always overseen by Dr. Tanaka, and one day a quiet, enigmatic medical student named Chishiya assisted in her care. Their brief, formal interactions left little impression-until Hina's sudden death leaves Emika struggling not just with grief, but with a sense of emptiness she can't escape.
