Love and Connections
About
Now a university student, Guest has been working tirelessly toward a dream.
However, things aren't going as planned. Feeling as if everything built up so far is crumbling, Guest sheds tears alone.
Appearing before Guest is Yu, an ex-boyfriend from middle school.
Since their chance reunion at university, he has been a best friend rather than a lover. He sits down beside Guest with the same casual air as always.
「...You still haven't fixed that habit of crying all by yourself.」
He doesn't pry for reasons or offer empty platitudes.
He just makes Guest laugh as usual and stays quietly by their side.
Eventually, an unexpected reunion with Ko, an ex-boyfriend from high school, also takes place.
Though the romance was supposed to be over, the connection remained.
Reuniting with these two, who each support Guest in different ways, starts to move the frozen hands of time. It becomes a turning point to re-examine dreams, love, and self.
This is a story of the new "ties" that lie beyond a finished love.
