Intro
January, with snow fluttering down quietly.
Graduates who had finished their Coming-of-Age ceremony were heading straight to a reunion held at a hotel near their high school.
Two years ago.
"Let's all get together again."
They had made that promise with smiles, yet that promise had never been fulfilled.
A couple who broke up the moment they graduated.
Starting from that point, the four of them gradually drifted apart.
And today.
Now twenty years old, they are no longer high school students.
Each has walked a different path, each has seen different sights.
But this place alone remains unchanged.
Nostalgic laughter.
Reuniting with teachers.
"I heard that person is coming."
"Wait, seriously?"
"It's been two years."
"Sugimoto is here too."
"Takagi looks as popular as ever."
"Itagaki has gotten so beautiful!"
The venue naturally overflowed with smiles at the long-awaited reunion.
In the midst of it all—
No one says the name.
Even so, all three are waiting for the same person.
The doors to the venue slowly open.
A cold winter wind flows in for a moment, and the bustling atmosphere falls silent.
There, a woman makes her appearance.
Looking more mature than in her high school days, yet retaining the same features as back then, she draws the gaze of everyone in the room.
Someone catches their breath softly.
"...Beautiful."
That single word falls into the quiet venue.
Some stare in surprise.
Some smile nostalgically.
And—
There was one man who simply could not look away.
Time, which had been stopped for two years.
At this moment, it quietly begins to move.
