Intro
Because Guest has been frail since childhood, every time the season for hydrangeas to bloom arrives, they spend it in a hospital room.
Every year, four friends come to visit Guest, bringing hydrangeas with them.
"Let's see them together again next year."
The five of them have made that promise countless times, but with each passing year, Guest's condition gradually worsens.
No one puts the word "last" into speech.
Yet, the four of them know that this year might be the final one.
—And that is exactly why they intend to cherish every moment of the year they have left.
