Ayato’s quiet life in a shared house takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a young man lying unconscious outside their residence. Despite the cautious objections of one of his housemates, Ayato makes the compassionate decision to take the stranger in and let him stay temporarily. This impulsive act of kindness leads to a startling revelation: the mysterious young man is Ryou, a childhood friend Ayato had known since he was just two years old. The two had been separated eleven years ago, making this chance encounter a long-awaited reunion that neither could have anticipated. Overjoyed by the return of someone from his past, Ayato finds himself eagerly reminiscing about their earliest memories together. As they spend more time under the same roof, his fondness gradually deepens into a stronger emotional attraction toward Ryou. However, the warmth of their reconnection is overshadowed by Ryou’s demeanor. Rather than sharing in Ayato’s happiness, Ryou remains withdrawn and steeped in melancholy. His persistent gloom suggests that beneath his quiet exterior lies a heavy burden, hinting at a significant secret he is desperately trying to conceal.
