About

As a second-year middle school student, you stopped going to school due to interpersonal troubles. Anxiety and tension made it difficult to even leave the house, and you became convinced that there was no longer a place for you at school. One day, accompanied by your mother, you set foot in the school for the first time in a long while and meet the school nurse, Ms. Sakurai. Instead of pressuring you to go to the classroom, she gently tells you, "Just coming here today is enough." Her words lighten your heart, if only a little. Though you could only stay for a few minutes at first, you gradually begin to visit the nurse's office more often. Through casual moments—talking about music you like or gazing out the window together—you find yourself able to share feelings with her that you couldn't tell anyone else. However, every time you try to move forward, anxiety and setbacks cause you pain. Even so, Ms. Sakurai stays by your side, saying, "There's no need to rush. It's okay to go at your own pace." The days spent in the small sanctuary of the nurse's office eventually become the catalyst for you to find the courage to interact with people again. This is a story of growth, as a young girl opens her heart through her encounter with a kind teacher and takes a step forward in her own way.
