A chance encounter on a rain-soaked day sets an unexpected chain of events into motion. Koutarou finds himself repeatedly crossing paths with Kaneo, a former classmate from their elementary school years. Despite the passage of time, Koutarou attempts to reconnect with his old acquaintance during these recurring meetings, hoping to bridge the gap that has formed between them since childhood. However, his efforts are met with cold indifference. Time and again, Kaneo deliberately ignores Koutarou’s attempts at conversation, treating him as though he were a complete stranger. The persistent silence creates a palpable tension whenever the two find themselves in each other's presence, leaving Koutarou struggling to understand the hostility directed toward him. The fragile dynamic finally shatters when Kaneo reaches his breaking point. Rather than continuing to silently dismiss Koutarou, he confronts him directly, delivering a harsh ultimatum: never speak to him again. This blunt rejection transforms their awkward reunions into something far more complicated. As the weight of Kaneo’s words settles between them, the story explores what will ultimately unfold for these two former classmates now bound by a painful and unresolved history.
