Synopsis

Akira invited Haruka to the summer festival, a brief moment of connection amidst a backdrop of unspoken emotions. Those feelings, long held in check, erupted into a sharp conflict. Elsewhere, Kondo and Chihiro reunited after a decade, their conversation drifting back to shared nights spent crafting novels in their university days. Kondo confronted his old friend, while Akira turned away from hers. Both bearing the weight of separate sorrows, they found themselves meeting at the garden.
