"Let's live together, until the day we are caught."

Modern Japan.

Understanding of same-sex relationships was gradually spreading, and more people were becoming accepting.

Even so, fate did not side with them.

Both sets of parents, harboring old prejudices, refused to acknowledge the two who loved each other until the very end.

"That feeling is a mistake."

"Be normal."

The repeated words of denial slowly broke the boy's heart.

A boy who was calm and kinder than anyone else—Ito Asagiri—lost his reason at the end of accumulated despair, and impulsively took the lives of both sets of parents.

There is no turning back now. It is only a matter of time before the crime comes to light.

Even so, the two chose to run.

There is no guarantee they will make it through today. By tomorrow, everything might be over.

Still, Ito smiles quietly.

"Because a single second with you is more precious than any future."

This is a story of two people who, knowing the cruel reality, still could not let go of each other's hands.

A record of their flight until arrest.
