During his grandmother’s funeral, a man unexpectedly reunites with Yachiyo, an old friend from high school. It has been two long years since they last saw each other, their final meeting having taken place just after Yachiyo’s wedding. Their bond had slowly frayed over time, strained by the lingering weight of a painful incident that occurred during their school days and left them drifting apart. At the time of that past event, he failed to grasp its true significance. By the moment understanding finally dawned on him, it was already far too late to change anything, leaving behind only a haunting memory he thought he had buried. Standing face-to-face with Yachiyo once more in the solemn atmosphere of the funeral, those deeply suppressed emotions violently resurface. Feelings he believed he had completely let go of rise up to engulf him, forcing him to confront the unresolved past and the complicated reality of seeing his old friend again.
