Born into a world devoid of resonant sound, Yuki found herself drawn to the enigmatic Itsuomi from their first encounter.

A quiet struggle unfolds within Yuki as she grapples with unfamiliar emotions blossoming for Itsuomi. Meanwhile, Oushi offers a subtle window into a long-held burden he has carried.

Yuki had settled into the quiet acceptance of her affections for Itsuomi, poised to finally act on them, when a sudden sight struck her, plunging her into a disorienting wave of uncertainty.

With plans already set with Kyouya for a shopping trip, Rin extended an invitation to Yuki and Itsuomi to accompany them.

At Itsuomi's home, he and Yuki spoke, and a number of lingering questions found resolution.

Both Yuki and Kyouya pressed Itsuomi to articulate his feelings for her, to define the nature of their connection. He answered them, and their surprise was palpable.

With Itsuomi gone on his journey, Yuki finds herself grappling with the unfamiliar contours of their altered life.

Meeting Yuki stirred in Shin a rush of memories, pulling him back to the halls of his high school, to the days spent with Itsuomi and Emma.

The group ascended into the mountains for a rigorous and eventful training period.

Itsuomi recognized the unavoidable nature of his impending clash with Oushi, and resolved to act independently.

A tremor of apprehension ran through Yuki as she prepared for her interview for the part-time position. Meanwhile, Shin wrestled with his own anxieties, steeling himself to deliver difficult news to Emma.

On their first date as a couple, Yuki and Itsuomi began to discover the nuances of one another.
