Hase, a working mechanic, carries the lingering weight of a past he thought he had left behind. The one person he cannot erase from his memory is Nadaguchi, a former classmate with whom he shared a complicated history. Their relationship began on a whim as part of a school punishment game, but it quickly evolved into something real before ultimately ending in a bitter and painful breakup. After graduation, Hase assumed their paths would never cross again, allowing him to move forward with his life and focus entirely on his career. However, his carefully maintained sense of normalcy shatters when Nadaguchi unexpectedly joins the very same company where Hase works. Suddenly thrust back into each other's orbit, the two men are forced to navigate the suffocating tension of their shared past every single day. Hase spends his time enduring the heavy, awkward atmosphere that hangs between them whenever they interact, unsure of how to handle the unresolved feelings simmering beneath the surface. Just as he begins to think the discomfort might be permanent, the dynamic shifts entirely when Nadaguchi suddenly makes a startling confession, forcing Hase to confront the emotions he has tried so hard to bury.
