Takashi has harbored deep feelings for his high school friend Hayate for as long as he can remember. When he finally gathered the courage to confess, his emotions were gently but firmly rejected. However, rather than severing their bond entirely, Hayate offered a bittersweet compromise: he promised to go on a date with Takashi once every year on his birthday, continuing this tradition until Takashi eventually found someone he loved more than him. For ten long years, Hayate has faithfully honored that promise. Every year, they meet and share a single day together, a fleeting moment of closeness that Takashi both cherishes and dreads. Yet, despite the passage of time, Takashi’s heart remains stubbornly tethered to Hayate. The unrequited love still burns just as painfully as it did in their youth, leaving him unable to move forward or open his heart to anyone else. Now, after a decade of these annual encounters, the emotional toll has become unbearable. Takashi finds himself standing at a painful crossroads, realizing that the very tradition meant to offer him comfort is slowly breaking him down. He has reached a point where he can no longer endure the agony of these yearly meetings, forcing him to confront whether he must finally let go of the only person he has ever truly loved.
